Effects of replacing soybean meal with linseed meal in broiler diet on selected broilers’ blood parameters, meat chemical composition, fatty acid profiles, and sensory characteristics

The study was conducted with the objective of determining effects dietary replacement soybean meal graded levels linseed on selected blood parameters, meat composition, fatty acid profiles, and quality broiler chickens. Cobb500 broilers were fed diets containing at 0% (T1), 6.5% (T2), 13% (T3), 19.5 (T4), 26% (T5), replacing to 100% in compound rations for 45 days. experiment using a completely randomized design five treatments, each replicated three times 12 birds. Blood hematological indices not affected (P>0.05) by treatment while among biochemistry triglyceride cholesterol concentrations T1 higher (P<0.05) than T3, T4, T5. Glucose T5 T2 (P<0.01). breast thigh proximate composition crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), ash, carbohydrate, gross energy similar treatments. sensory scores samples different palmitic content other Eliadic stearic greater T1, T2, T3 T4 oleic linoleic contents rest Breast linolenic high but meat. Total saturated (SFA) showed decreasing trend an increasing level (LSM) ration. ratio monounsaturated (MUFA) SFA T2. omega-6 (n-6) omega-3 (n-3) as LSM (SBM) ration increased. Generally, up broilers’ diet improves essential chicken without affecting chickens’ normal does alter attributes.
