Feeding effect of locally produced linseed oilcake on productivity and egg quality of cross Lohmann Brown layers were evaluated under trial conditions. Linseed oilcake in the amount of 4% when included in layer feed mixture provided: content of polyansaturated fatty acids of 19.40-23.22%, ratio of polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids 0.60-0.62:1 and ratio of the sum of n-fatty acids against the sum of n-3 fatty acids 4.1:1 in the egg yolk. Feeding of linseed oilcake to layers in comparison with the control group: did not influence layer productivity, but improved composition of egg yolk fatty acids, i.e. total sum of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids increased by 1.20-2.97%. Linseed oilcake included in layer feed mixture combined with vitamin E promoted the increase of the amount of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids in the egg yolk by 1.62 and 2.51%, respectively, and daily egg mass per hen by 68 mg and 97 mg, respectively, in comparison with the control group.
