Abstract

A diet with 20% herring oil (0.55% linoleate) gave comparable growth responses to a diet containing 20% corn oil (12.07% linoleate) in 4-week-old male and female White Leghorn chicks. No additive or synergistic growth responses were noted in female chicks fed a mixture of herring oil and corn oil. Decreased testes size and changes in testicular histology occurred in young cockerels fed herring oil. Comb responses were dissimilar in male and female chicks fed fish oil.
