Functional alteration of breast muscle fatty acid profile by manipulation of dietary n-6:n-3 ratios in broiler chickens

摘要

Breast muscle fatty acid (FA) profile was studied in broiler chickens fed at different levels of?n-6:n-3?polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratios in 4 treatment groups; very high level of?n-6:n-3?ratios?(VH), high level of?n-6:n-3?ratios?(H), low level of?n-6:n-3ratios?(L), very low level of?n-6:n-3?ratios (VL)?and control, respectively. All the birds were slaughtered at 42 days of age and breast muscle were collected.?FA profile of breast muscles was determined by gas liquid chromatography.?Increased levels of?fish oil?significantly (P
