Effects of Grape Seed Oil Supplementation to Broilers Diets on Growth Performance, Meat Fatty Acids, Health Lipid Indices and Lipid Oxidation Parameters

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects grape seed oil (GSO) supplementation broilers fed polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)-enriched diets on growth performance, color, texture, acid content and lipid peroxidation meat. 4-week feeding trial conducted 120 Cobb 500 broilers, assigned three groups housed in an experimental hall permanent wood shaves litter. GSO tested as source natural antioxidants at different levels, 0% (GSO0, control), 1.5% (GSO1.5) 3% (GSO3) presence 4% flaxseed meal (FSM) a completely randomized design. results show that end experiment (42 days) had no effect (p < 0.05) productivity parameters, except final weight which improved GSO3 compared GSO. thigh meat color indicated higher degree lightness 0.05), but texture not influenced by new diets. increased saturated (SFA) decreased PUFA Thigh samples from treatments significantly oxidative stability. In breast only concentration thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) 0.05). It is concluded
