Effects of diets containing different types of fat and oil [coconut oil, soybean oil, corn oil, lard and tallow] on the performance of broilers [Philippines]
1984
Susbilla, J.P.P.
Results obtained from feeding trials showed that feed consumption, body weight at 8 weeks and feed efficiency were not affected by dietary treatments. However, of the six dietary treatments, birds fed with diet containing coconut oil had the highest average final body weights of 2.03 kg for trial 1 and 1.88 for trial 2. Diet with corn oil had the highest average feed efficiency which was 5.2% better than the control diet. In trial 2, diets with coconut oil and tallow had almost similar average feed efficiency with diet without added fat (2.73 vs 2.71). Cooking characteristics of the breast muscles from broilers were not affected by dietary treatments. Similarly, no significant differences were found due to treatments in the mean taste panel scores for flavor, off-flavor, juiciness, and general acceptability of the oven roasted chicken breast. However, the types of fat and oil affect the fat characteristics of broilers. Returns above feed cost per broiler fed with diets containing 4% coconut oil and tallow, respectively had 51 centavos and 1 peso and 15 centavos more compared to the control diet in trial 1. In trial 2, moreover, diet containing 4% tallow had return above feed cost of 62 centavos more than the diet without added fat
