this experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of dietary caspian kilka fish oil on breast meat fatty acid (fa) profile and as well as sensory acceptability of breast meat. fish oil supplementation was added to provide four graded levels (0, 1, 2, and 3% fish oil) in place of vegetable oil for supporting 3% oil in the diet during the period of breeding. these four diets were allocated to o...

Background: Beneficial effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on the male fertility are widely described in the literature. However, there is little information about the effect of dietary n-3/n-6 ratios and Vit E on the male reproduction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of dietary PUFAs on the rat sperm characteristics after eight weeks oil consumption. Mate...

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. ...

an 8-week feeding experiment was carried out on beluga (huso huso) juvenile to evaluate the effects of different levels of fish oil containing n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (n-3 hufas) on fish growth and fatty acid composition. the requirements of beluga juvenile for n-3 hufas were studied by feeding fish diets containing six different levels of n-3 hufas ranging from 1.56 to 17.25% (% of ...

OBJECTIVE Although key roles for dietary vitamin E (VITE) and fatty acid (FA) in fertility have been confirmed, limited data are available on the effects of VITE alone, or a constant level of VITE supplemented by dietary omega-6 and omega-3 FAs in combination on male reproduction. Consequently in this paper, the effects of VITE, sunflower oil, fish oil and their combination on rat sperm were in...
