Abstract
In order to examine the effect of different levels of linoleic acid supplementation, study was carried out to evaluate the performance of broiler chicken in response to linoleic acid supplement at the Poultry Experiment Station, Department of Poultry Husbandry, Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Sciences, Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam. 150 Broiler chicken birds were equally divided in to five groups; A, B, C, D and E where the linoleic acid was supplemented in feed at the rates of 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 % in feed, respectively. The feed intake of broiler chicken fed with 0.2% linolenic acid supplemented ration was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that of 0, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8% addition of linolenic acid in ration. Significant (P<0.05) impact of different levels (0.8, 0.6, 0.4 and 0.2%) of linolenic acid supplementation was noted on weight gain, FCR, final weight, carcass yield and weight of giblets; liver, heart and gizzard of broiler chicken, except dressing percent which is not affected by the supplementation of linoleic acid with basal diet.
