effect of dietary oil seeds on n-3 fatty acid enrichment, performance parameters and humoral immune response of broiler chickens

a 42-day study was conducted to evaluate the influence of full-fat flaxseed (fs) and canola seed (cs) on broiler performance, fatty acid (fa) profile of meat, serum lipid content and antibody response to sheep red blood cells antigen (srbc). a total of 324 one-day-old chicks were attributed to 6 experimental groups. c: control (soybean-corn); cs1:7.5% cs; cs2:15% cs; cs-fs:10% fs + 10% cs; fs1:7.5% fs; fs2:15% fs. the diets containing fs and cs had a significant negative effect on performance parameters (p0.05) different among treatments. inclusion of fs and cs significantly increased (p0.05).
