Male and female emus were fed a diet rich in saturated fat (beef tallow) or a diet rich in unsaturated fat (soybean oil) until they weighed about 35 kg. Samples of subcutaneous and retroperitoneal adipose tissues and samples of six major meat cuts were taken for determination of composition. Emus fed the two different diets grew at similar rates, but the male emus had a higher percentage of car...

this study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary turmeric rhizome powder (trp) as a natural antioxidant, and soybean oil, canola oil and tallow on lipid metabolism, blood metabolites, immune system, and antioxidant status of broiler chickens before (bhs, 28 d) and after exposure to heat stress (ahs, 42 d). seven hundred and ninety two d-old male arian broilers were randomly allotted ...

A total of 160 finishing pigs (PIC 327 × 1050; initially 45.6 kg) were used in an 84-d experiment to evaluate the effects of dietary fat source and feeding duration on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and carcass fat quality. There were 2 pigs per pen with 8 pens per treatment. The 10 dietary treatments were a corn-soybean meal control diet with no added fat and a 3 × 3 factorial wi...

Background: The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary fat sources on reproductive performance of mature rams. Materials and Methods: Twelve adult rams, with 32 months of age and a mean weight value of 67 kg, were divided into four dietary treatments using a completely randomized design. Dietary treatments included with the study were: 1. ration with 4% soybean oil (A...

To study the acute effect of dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6) on the expression of adipocyte determination and differentiation-dependent factor 1 (ADD1) mRNA in pig tissues, weaned, crossbred pigs (28 d of age) were fed with either 10% (on as-fed basis) tallow (high stearic acid), soybean oil (high linoleic acid), or high DHA algal oil for 2 d. The plasma and liver DHA reflected the co...

this experiment was carried out to study the effects of different levels of canola meal of different fat sources on the egg quality, performance as well egg yolk cholesterol during the first 12 weeks of age in laying hens (hy-line w-36). throughout the experiment a total of 432 hens were employed in a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement of 3×4, with three levels of canola me...
