Feeding Camelina sativa meal to meat-type chickens: Effect on production performance and tissue fatty acid composition – A. E. Aziza, N. Quezada, G. Cherian – J Applied Poultry Research 2010

Summary: A study was conducted to investigate the effect of feeding Camelina sativa meal to broiler birds on bird performance, carcass characteristics, white and dark meat, and tissue (liver and adipose) total lipids and fatty acid composition. It was concluded that Camelina meal can be included in broiler diets up to 10% without compromising bird performance while increasing the n-3 fatty acid content of the meat.
