Effect of Different Fat Sources and Energy Levels on Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Meat Quality in Broiler Chicks
Abstract:This experiment was conducted to evaluate different oil sources and energy density in broiler. Two vegetable oil sources (canola and palm oil), two animal oil sources (fish oil and refined poultry oil) and two levels of energy were: recommended energy (RE); 3000 and 3200 kcal/kg according to manual of Ross 308 and low energy (LE); 2850 and 3050 kcal/kg used in starter and finisher phases, respectively. Four hundred and sixteen (416) day-old broiler birds were distributed in eight treatments (four replicates co… Show more
“…Skrivan et al (2000) showed that feeding 0.5% lard oil in broilers diet had improved WG (1973 vs 1799 g) than those on 0.5% rapeseed oil. Shoaib et al (2021b) observed that poultry fat had higher digestibilities of EE (69 vs 64 and 63%) and CP (65 vs 61%) than fish and palm oil. Birds fed diet supplemented with palm oil had higher phosphorus digestibility than those fed linseed and soybean oil (Abdulla et al, 2016).…”

“…A range of animal fat sources is utilised in poultry diets to fulfil the energy requirement of birds i.e., tallow, lard and poultry fat. Shoaib et al (2021b) observed that poultry fat had lower feed intake (3134 vs 3304 and 3278 g), higher weight gain (1832 vs 1789 and 1741 g) and improved FCR (1.72 vs 1.84 and 1.88) than fish and palm oil. Shahryar et al (2011) revealed that addition of canola oil and poultry fat at 3% in broilers diet had higher weight gain (PF: 2000 g, CO: 1965 g) and better FCR (PF: 1.70, CO: 1.74).…”

“…Soy oil provides ME with the highest value as it includes more polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are more digestible. Shoaib et al (2021b) observed that canola oil had higher water holding capacity (63.31%) than fish (53.31%) and palm oil (54.93%). Addition of poultry fat and canola oil in broilers diet had lower gizzard weight and abdominal fat, while, carcass weight was not affected than control group (without oil) (Shahryar et al, 2011).…”
Commercial broilers have a short production cycle and a high requirement for energy (3000 kcal/kg in starter phase and 3200 kcal/kg in finisher phase). Therefore, the need to add energy rich lipids to their diet is inevitable. Digestibility of fat depends on its multiple properties: chain length, the composition of fatty acids, ratio of saturated/unsaturated fatty acids and free fatty acids. The high cost of vegetable oils and less availability due to their consumption in human diet are the main reasons for searching cheaper alternative fat sources. Animal oils like poultry and fish oil are the by-product of rendering plants and after refining, they are used in poultry diets as an energy source. Due to presence of impurities and free fatty acids, the digestibility of animal fat is less. There is a limited amount of bile acids and lipase available during early age and when birds are reared on high energy diet (finisher phase). Supplementation of emusifier or lipase in broilers diet increase fat utilisation. Emulsifiers increase fat digestibility by increasing active surface area of lipid droplets. Lysolecithin and Lysophospholipids are produced from hydrolyses of lecithin and phospholipids by phopholipase A2. The bile acids mainly compose of cholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid and have strong emulsification properties. Triacylglyceryl acylase (lipase) is an enzyme involved in catalysis and the hydrolysis of lipids. It can be concluded that use of emulsifier and lipase in broilers diet improves growth performance, nutrient digestibility and intestinal histology in broilers.
