Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Supplemental Fat to Low Metabolizable Energy Diets on Cholesterol and Triglyceride Contents of Broiler MeatMansour Rezaei, Atena MonfarediProblem statement: Modern diets high in Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA) and low in Monounsaturated (MUFA) and Polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids are mostly blamed for the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Since dietary fatty acids are absorbed by monogastric animals and deposited in their tissues without significant modification, considerable potential exists for the manipulation of the fatty acid profile of poultry … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,022 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Dietary Fat Type and Amount on Growth Performance and Serum Cholesterol in RabbitsA. Alhaidary, H. E. Mohamed, A.C. BeynenProblem statement: Literature data on the effect of dietary fat on growth performance in rabbits are inconclusive. For commercial rabbit production it is relevant to know to what extent dietary fat level and type can be manipulated. In the present study serum cholesterol was also analyzed because its relation to the amount and type of dietary fat was not known … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,479 accessesView PDFCite
