Performance of broilers fed with diets containing different types of fat and oil.
1987

Broilers fed with the diet containing coconut oil had the heaviest average eight-week body weight in both trials (Trial 1 - 2.30; Trial 2 - 1.88 kg). In Trial 1, the birds on the corn oil diet had the best feed conversion and those on oil control diet, the poorest (2.37 vs. 2.50). In Trial 2, no significant differences in feed efficiency values were observed between diets without supplementary fat and those with coconut oil or tallow. Cooking losses and sensory characteristics of breast muscles were not affected by dietary treatments. In both trials, fat samples from broilers fed with diets containing corn oil or soybean oil had the highest iodine value while fat samples from birds on the diet with coconut oil had the lowest. In Trial 1, corresponding returns above feed cost per broiler on diets with coconut oil or tallow were P0.51 and P1.51 more than the control. In Trial 2, the diet with tallow gave a return above feed cost of P0.62 more than the control. In both trials the birds fed with the diet containing tallow required the least feed cost per kg. body weight gain (P7.73 and P10.21).
