| Popis: | The high fat content of the diet contributes to the pathogenesis of the most common human chronic diseases. The major nutritional causes of these metabolic alterations and damage to the body have always been considered the saturated fatty acids. Therefore, nutritionists suggest to replace in part the saturated fats with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). However, PUFAs are subject to lipid peroxidation, in the absence of antioxidant protection. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of supplementing with different levels of grain amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus) on the growth performances, oxidative status and serum biochemical parameters in broilers fed diets rich in linseed oil. A total of 132 female broilers were randomly divided into three equal groups (44 broilers/group, 11 broilers/cage, 4 cages/treatment). Animals were fed for 5 weeks with three diets containing 5% linseed oil and supplemented with 0%, 5% and 10% of amaranth grain, respectively. To allow the assessment of oxidative status was measured the level of serum lipid peroxidation and the level of serum antioxidant capacity using LP-cholox test and anti-ROMs test (Diacron, s.r.l., Grosseto, Italy), respectively. The following biochemical serum parameters were also determined: triglycerides, cholesterol, alanine amino transferase (ALT) and albumin. Our results showed a decrease on broilers growth performances with increasing (P |
