“…The predominant fatty acid was oleic acid (C18:1), with the contribution equaling 39.3, 44.6, and 45.7% in chicken, pork, and beef, respectively. Similar results were obtained by others, as chicken thigh meat was previously reported to include 43.1-49.1% of MUFA [22,23] with oleic acid at the level of 34.8% [23], the share of MUFA in pork ham was at the level of 47.9% with the 44.1% share of oleic acid [8], and in beef, MUFA share was 46.9% including oleic acid at 42% [12]. In this study, similarly to the results of others [7,8,12,22,23], PUFA contribution in total fatty acids was the highest in chicken meat and the lowest in beef meat, which resulted in the high ratio of PUFA/SFA in chicken (from 0.65 to 0.87) and low ratios PUFA/SFA in pork (from 0.19 to 0.30) and beef (from 0.06 to 0.12).…”

“…There have been some studies on the application of plants or Chinese herbs as growth promoters of broilers. Results from Ölmez et al showed that blueberry extract as a feed additive could improve the growth performance, carcass characteristics, and fatty acid composition of breast and thigh meat of broilers ( Ölmez et al, 2021 ). In Chang et al study, dietary 500 mg/kg CYP supplementation significantly increased live weight, slaughter performance, meat quality, and thigh muscle percentage of broilers ( Chang et al, 2023 ).…”

“…In addition, we found that the addition of 3% dried BP and dried PP increased BW on day 42 and ADG during days 1 to 42, but not significantly. A study showed that the FI of the 2% blueberry extract treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group throughout the test period, and the addition of blueberry extract could effectively improve the feed conversion efficiency of broiler chickens from day 22 to day 42 [ 23 ]. Moreover, the reason for the difference in the above results may be that the blueberry extract contained higher levels of nutrients and antioxidant substances such as polyphenols than BP and PP.…”

“…Most previous studies have shown that polyphenolic compounds do not affect broiler chickens’ carcass yield or characteristics [ 24 , 25 , 29 ]. However, broiler chickens fed 2% blueberry extract had a significantly higher proportion of gizzard [ 23 ]. The possible reason for the change in liver ratio was that the polyphenols altered nutrient metabolism, especially lipid metabolism.…”
