Abstract
THE EFFECT of dietary fat on the fat content of the chicken carcass has been studied by several investigators. Baldini and Rosenberg (1957) reported that an increase in the fat content of the diet without raising the caloric content did not increase deposition of body fat. Donaldson et al. (1956) found that wider Calorie/protein ratios increased the carcass fat. Leong et al. (1959) reported that visceral fat deposition was affected more by source and amount of energy than by Calorie/protein ratio. While these studies have shown that increasing the energy content of the diet will increase total carcass fat, they do not give information about the distribution of the fat in muscle tissue. A comprehensive study of the effect of fattening diets on the tissue fat content of 8-to 20-week-old cockerels was made by Harshaw (1938). More recently, McNally (1954) reported that the fat content of edible meat of 12-week-old …
