The effect of different forms of selenium on fatty acid composition in broiler meat
Main Article Content
Abstract
The effects of selenium (Se) in diets on fatty acid composition, lipid indices, and enzyme indexes for desaturase, elongase, and thioesterase in Pectoralis muscle of broiler chicken were investigated. A total of 360 one-day-old chicks (Arbor Acres) were randomly assigned to 2 treatments with 6 replicates, giving 30 birds per replicate. The birds were fed ad libitum in 3 feed phases of giving 2 dietary treatments comprised 0.3 ppm of inorganic Se from sodium selenite (Na-Se) and 0.3 ppm of organic Se from Zn-L-selenomethionine (Zn-L-SeMet). At 39 days of age, one bird from each treatment was randomly selected and slaughtered. Pectoralis muscles were collected and stored at -40 °C before fatty acid composition analysis. There were not significantly different between organic and inorganic selenium treatment on fatty acid composition, lipid indices, and enzyme indexes (P>0.05). However, the results demonstrated that Zn-L-SeMet had slightly lower I/A (6.7%) while had higher h/H (4.4%) and MUFA (8%) than Na-Se.
