Abstract

The study evaluated the effect of amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus) grain (AMG) supplementation to diets containing linseed oil on the oxidative status, blood serum metabolites, growth performance and meat quality. A total of 132 90-d-old female Big Ray broilers were randomly divided into 3 groups of 44 broilers each (11 broilers per cage, 4 cages per treatment) and fed on a diet containing 50 g/kg linseed oil supplemented with 0, 50 or 100 g/kg AMG, respectively, for 32 d. At the end of the experiment 30 broilers (10 per treatment) were sacrificed and breast muscle samples were prepared for analysis. Growth performance was significantly lower (P
