Both chicken meat and egg is excellent foodstuff due to their compositions of amino acids, monoand polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamins. There is evidence that functional feed ingredients can improve the meat yield and egg quality (Patten and Waldroup, 1988; Izat et al., 1991; Mahfudz et al., 1996). In this study, we examine the effect of feed ingredients such as ethanolic extract of shochu...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the possibility of improving egg lipids and fatty acids composition of laying hens through inclusion of olive cake plus barley malt rootlets in the diets. Seventy, 54-week-old, Lohman laying hens were fed for a 12 weeks laying period on 3 iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous diets contained 0 (control), 28.5 g olive cake (OC) + 25.5 g barley malt rootl...

in this experiment, the effects of fennel and thyme extracts with and without flaxseed were investigated on performance and egg quality of leghorn-type laying hens (hy-line w-36). 200 laying hens from 26 to 38 weeks of age were assigned to five dietary treatments with five replications. the treatment groups were: 1) control (a diet without any additives); 2) control diet plus fennel (40 mg/kg f...

Lipids and essential fatty acids, particularly the highly unsaturated fatty acids, 20:5n-3 (eicosapentaenoic acid; EPA), 22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid; DHA) and 20:4n-6 (arachidonic acid, AA) have been shown to be crucial determinants of marine fish reproduction directly affecting fecundity, egg quality, hatching success, larval malformation and pigmentation. In Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) c...

changes in the fatty acid content, during frozen storage at -24°c of caspian kutum (rutilus frisii kutum), golden grey mullet (liza aurata), common carp (caprinus carpio), pike perch (sander lucioperca) and common kilka (clupeonella cultiventris caspia), caught from south caspian sea were studied in the present work. changes in saturated fatty acids (sfas), monounsaturated fatty acids (mufas), ...

fatty acids play important roles in biological systems and the newborns fatty acids requirements are covered only by the milk. it is of particular interest to qualify the content of the fatty acids in the milk. this study was performed to determine the levels of some fatty acids in the infant formulas and also to describe a method without derivatization for the fatty acids analysis and applying...

Background: Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) belongs to Anacardiaceae family. The dried and powdered fruits are used as a food flavoring and medicinal plant. Objective: In this study, variability of fatty acid composition in some wild sumac fruits were investigated. Method: The samples were collected from their natural origins in central parts of Iran; Isfahan and Markazi province in the September to...

diet as a part of lifestyle plays a pivotal role in the development of metabolic syndrome and its consequences. fatty acid composition as a part of dietary intake affects blood fatty acid concentrations, insulin sensitivity and different metabolic pathways associated with the occurrence and consequences of the metabolic syndrome. the aim of this review is to evaluate the effects of dietary fatt...
