the present study was carried out to determine the effects of fish oil long-chain fatty acids and thyme essence supplementation on performance and carcass traits in mahabadi goat kids. twenty-eight mahabadi goat kids (average initial bw of 17/8 ± 2/8 kg, 4-5mo) were randomly assigned to four treatments of: 1. control (basal diet), 2. 0.2% thyme essence, 3. 2% fish oil, and 4. 2% fish oil +0.2% ...

This article focuses on the consumption of fish in Qatar and its health benefits for those living in the region. The nutritional value of fish from traditional fishing areas such as the UK has been much discussed but this article addresses the value of fish from warmer regions. Samples of popular fish were purchased from the local market in Qatar and were then analysed for levels of major nutri...

Partially hydrogenated fish oil (PHFO) contains a high amount of trans fatty acids (TFA). Total hydrogenation results in a minimal amount of TFA, but a high content of very-long-chain saturated fatty acids (VLCSFA). Absorption and metabolism of VLCSFA from totally hydrogenated fish oil (THFO) were studied in rats. Groups of eight rats were fed one of four diets containing 40 g soyabean oil (SBO...

Milk was collected from 20 primiparous Holstein cows that were distributed into four groups and arranged in a completely randomized design with a 35-day period to determine the effect of feeding fish oil, soybean oil, or their combination on milk production and composition. Experimental diets consisted of: 1) control diet; 2) a diet with 3% (DM basis) added fat from menhaden fish oil; 3) a diet...

Eleven diets (D1-D11), designated as treatments (T1-T11), supplemented with different levels of inorganic phosphorus (P) (Ca2PO4) were fed to Heterobranchus bidorsalis (10.8 ±0.02 g) to determine the optimum P requirement. D1 D11 contained total P of 10.2, 10.4, 11.0, 11.9, 12.3, 12.6, 13.4, 13.9, 14.2 14.7 and 15.4 g kg respectively. After 84 days of feeding trial, there was increase in fish g...

 The objective of this study was to assess fillet yield, proximate composition and mineral contents of the Indian spiny halibut (Psettodes erumei) during different seasons. Fish samples (female = 100 and male = 100) were caught from the coastal waters of Bushehr province and body weight and length were taken to predict fillet weight and yield. Large differences in the fillet yield were observed...

The modifications on a lean fish (cod Gadus morhua) and a fatty fish (farmed salmon Salmo salar) after the application of pan-frying using two types of oil with different lipid profile (extra virgin olive oil and sunflower oil) was the aim of this study. Fat content and total energetic value increased significantly after the frying process only in the lean fish, without relevant changes in the ...


 The study included a comparability of the chemical composition and nutritional value four economical fishes species from Iraqi coastal waters in northwestern Arabian gulf: including Tenualosa ilisha, Acanthobagrus arabicus, Otoliths ruber, Planiliza subviridis. Samples were brought local markets Basra governance-southern Iraq. Results show that moisture fish`s muscles was recorded 69.15 ...
