The effects of Using Degummed Soybean Oil and Lysolecithin in Broiler Diets on Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Some Blood Parameters
Project no. 20128 · Status: Kapanmış · 2016
Summary
In this study, it was investigated that the effects of addition of degummed soybean oil and lysolecithin to diet on performance, nutrient digestibility and blood lipid profile in broilers. A total of 64 days old male and female broiler chicks (Ross 308) were used. The chicks were randomly divided into 4 treatment groups in 5 replicates each (20 chicks). The animals were fed on diets containing crude soybean oil or degummed soybean oil with (500 mg/kg) or without lysolecithin for 42 days. Feed and water were offered for ad-libitum consumption. The use of degummed soybean oil in the diets increased body weight and body weight gain and improved feed conversion ratio in the first 21 days (P <0.05). In addition, degummed soybean oil increased serum triglyceride levels in males and serum LDL concentration in females (P<0.05). However, lysolecithin addition did not significantly affect performance, nutrient digestibility and blood lipid profile in broilers. As a result, the use of degumming soybean oil in broiler nutrition will be beneficial for growth performance.
