This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary coconut oil as a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) source on performance, carcass composition and serum lipids in male broilers. A total of 540, one-day-old, male Arbor Acres broilers were randomly allotted to 1 of 5 treatments with each treatment being applied to 6 replicates of 18 chicks. The basal diet (i.e., R0) was based on corn a...

Dietary fat plays a major role in obesity, lipid metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases. To determine whether the intake of different types of dietary fats affect the muscle fiber types that govern the metabolic and contractile properties of the skeletal muscle, we fed male Wistar rats with a 15% fat diet derived from different fat sources. Diets composed of soybean oil (n-6 polyunsaturated fa...

the aim followed in this study was to investigate the effects of soybean oil (high in c18:2 n-6, an omega-6 fatty acid) and fish oil (high in epa 20:5 n-3 and dha 22:6 n-3, omega-3 fatty acids) on meat quality and on the fatty acid profiles in goat kids. twenty-four male kids were allocated through stratified randomization and on the basis of body weight (19.43±1.2 kg) into three equal groups. ...

The hypothesis of this experiment was that the various sources of dietary fat with different dietary ratios of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to saturated fatty acids (SFAs) would alter the reproduction parameters of mature rams. Twelve mature rams were randomly allotted to one of four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design. Dietary treatments were: 1) ration with 4% soybean ...

to study the effect of dietary animal and plant lipids on gonadal differents and sex steroid hormones levels of blood in rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss), the four diets was formulated based on 15% fat. the control uses 100% oil, fish oil was treated in the first, second and third respectively 25% and 75% fish oil, soybean oil, canola and cotton were used. after six weeks of feeding fish wit...

the hypothesis of this experiment was that the various sources of dietary fat with different dietary ratios of polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) to saturated fatty acids (sfas) would alter the reproduction parameters of mature rams. twelve mature rams were randomly allotted to one of four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design. dietary treatments were: 1) ration with 4% soybean ...

This study was conducted with broilers to evaluate the effects of growth-promoting antibiotic (flavomycin) and probiotic (7 bacterial species) supplementation in diets containing soybean oil or free fatty acids (FFA) on performance, morphological parameters of the small intestine, apparent digestibility of gross energy (GE) in the ileum, and apparent digestibility of fat in the ileum and total ...
