Abstract

SUMMARY The objective of this study was to determine the effect of oxidized fish oils on growth performance, metabolic oxidative status, and intestinal barrier function in broiler chickens. A total of 240 1-d-old female broiler chickens were assigned to 4 dietary treatments. Dietary treatments comprised of a basal diet supplemented with 4% of non-oxidized (fresh) fish oil, low-oxidized fish oil (FLX), moderately oxidized fish oil (FMX), and highly oxidized fish oil (FHX). Serum corticosterone levels at day 14 and liver concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) at day 14 and 21 were higher in birds fed oxidized fish oil compared with those fed then non-oxidized fish oil diet (P
