Influence of different sources of oil on performance, meat quality, gut morphology, ileal digestibility and serum lipid profile in broilers

摘要

ABSTRACT This study examined the effect of palm oil (PO), sunflower oil (SO) and their combinations on the growth performance, meat quality, intestinal morphology, ileal digestibility and blood plasma lipid profile of broilers. A total of 144-day-old broiler chicks (Cobb-500) were randomly assigned to basal diets supplemented with either T 1 , 6% PO (control); T 2 , 4% PO?￠????+?￠????2% SO; T 3 , 2% PO?￠????+?￠????4% SO or T 4 , 6% SO fed for six weeks. Birds fed SO and the combination of SO and PO had greater ( p ?￠????
