| Abstract | ||
| This study was aimed to investigate the effect of flaxseed and soybean oil (Omega-3 sources) and mix of them on embryonic development, fertility and hatchability traits of broiler breeder eggs and maternal immune of hatched chicks. This study was conducted in the TaqTaq privet hatchery of Kosar company in Erbil, 1800 eggs were collected from the broiler breeder (Ross-308) which fed four productivity diets that added to: T1- (control) 3% sunflower oil, T2- 3% flaxseed oil, T3- 3% soybean oil and T4- a mix of (1.5% flaxseed oil+1.5% soybean oil), eggs for treatments were incubated and hatched in trays each separately. Results shows added flaxseed and soybean oil and mix of them in some embryonic development qualities at the 7 days incubation of embryos age no significant increase (P<0.05) at the percentage of embryos weight and amnion fluid in T2, also significantly higher (P<0.05) at the percentage of chorio-allantoic and sub-embryonic fluid in T2, T3 and T4, but a significant decrease (P<0.05) at the percentage of albumin in T2 and T3, so decreased significantly in yolk sac and its membrane in T4, thus significant decline (P<0.05) in the treatments of omega-3 added as compared with control. At 14 days of incubation was found significantly higher (P<0.05) in the percentage of the embryos weight and the yolk sac membrane in T2, while, significantly decreased (P<0.05) in the percentage of albumin, chorio- allantoic in T2, T3 and T4 compared with control, also observed a significant decrease (P<0.05) at the percentage of yolk sac in T2 and T4 compared with T1 and T3. While, showed non-significant differences among all treatments at the percentage of amnion fluid, sub-embryonic fluid and the eggshell weight. Observed a significant increase (P<0.05) at the percentage of fertility, hatching to total eggs and hatched chicks weight in T2, T3 and T4, while, found a significant decrease (P<0.05) at the percentage of early dead embryo (1-7) days and late dead embryo (15-21) days and total dead embryo (1-21) days in all treatments added omega-3 compared with control. Also found a significant decrease (P<0.05) at the percentage of medium dead embryo (8-14) days in T2 compared with T1, thus found a significant decrease (P<0.05) in disable-chicks in T3 and T4. The results of maternal immunity for hatched chicks by ELISA test significantly increased (P<0.05) in all treatments that added omega-3 to their diet as compared with control T1. | ||
