Abstract

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of whole flaxseed on broiler chickens' lipids profile and liver and kidney function. 200 straight-run one-day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks were divided randomly into two groups (100/group) with five replicates. The control treatment (CON) was fed a corn-soybean diet. The second treatment fed the flaxseed-corn soybean (FCS) diet by using flaxseed 75 kg/ton in the starter and grower and 100kg/ton in the finisher diet. The cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, and VLDL were decreasing significantly (P 0.05) in the (FCS) compared with the (CON). However, HDL was increased significantly (P 0.05). Liver and kidney enzyme activity were improved in the (FCS). The serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity and creatinine and urea concentration were decreased significantly (P 0.05) in the (FCS) compared with the (CON). In conclusion, replacing corn with 7.5 whole flaxseed in the starter and grower and 10 in the finisher broiler chicken diet led to improved growth performance. Additionally, reducing using oil, and soybean in the diet.
