The effect of Canola oil supplementation at different feeding duration on local chicken, Ayam Saga growth performance, Carcass composition and Omega-3 fatty acid content

(2022) The effect of Canola oil supplementation at different feeding duration on local chicken, Ayam Saga growth performance, Carcass composition and Omega-3 fatty acid content. Malaysian Journal of Animal Science (Malaysia), 25 (2). pp. 35-43. ISSN 2520-2123

A total of 160 MARDI village chicken breed (Ayam Saga) at the age of 9 weeks were fed feed supplemented with or without 2% of Canola oil containing approximately 10mg/g of Alphalinolenic Acid (ALA) for 3 feeding durations; 3 weeks (T3), 2 weeks (T2) and 1 week (T1) before slaughter to evaluate its effect on the bird’s performance and accumulation of ALA in the breast and thigh meat. The control treatment (T0) was not supplemented with canola oil. All birds showed no negative effect on the growth performances with no significant difference when compared to the control (p>0.05). Birds fed with canola oil during T2 and T1 showed better feed intake and weight gain compared to the control (T0) during the same period. Carcass performance for all treatments showed similar results. Treatment with no addition of canola oil has the highest final weight gain (1378.53g/bird) at 12 weeks, however, it was not significantly different (p>0.05) with the other treatments. This indicates that the addition of Canola oil did not suppress nor giving an adverse effect on the total performance of the birds. ALA was present in the breast and thigh meat of all treatments except T1 of canola oil supplementation in the breast meat. In conclusion, from this study, it is found that two weeks of Canola oil supplementation is needed to enrich the breast and thigh meat of SAGA chicken with Omega-3 ALA.

Abstract

A total of 160 MARDI village chicken breed (Ayam Saga) at the age of 9 weeks were fed feed supplemented with or without 2% of Canola oil containing approximately 10mg/g of Alphalinolenic Acid (ALA) for 3 feeding durations; 3 weeks (T3), 2 weeks (T2) and 1 week (T1) before slaughter to evaluate its effect on the bird’s performance and accumulation of ALA in the breast and thigh meat. The control treatment (T0) was not supplemented with canola oil. All birds showed no negative effect on the growth performances with no significant difference when compared to the control (p>0.05). Birds fed with canola oil during T2 and T1 showed better feed intake and weight gain compared to the control (T0) during the same period. Carcass performance for all treatments showed similar results. Treatment with no addition of canola oil has the highest final weight gain (1378.53g/bird) at 12 weeks, however, it was not significantly different (p>0.05) with the other treatments. This indicates that the addition of Canola oil did not suppress nor giving an adverse effect on the total performance of the birds. ALA was present in the breast and thigh meat of all treatments except T1 of canola oil supplementation in the breast meat. In conclusion, from this study, it is found that two weeks of Canola oil supplementation is needed to enrich the breast and thigh meat of SAGA chicken with Omega-3 ALA.
