At the age of 22 weeks, the hens were individually weighed and randomly distributted into ten treatments of each two replicates (8 hens/replicate). The treatments were as fol-lows: T1, T2 and T3 included addition of 0.5, 0.75 and 2% sunflower oil; and treatments T4, T5 and T6 included addition of 1, 1.5 and 1% fish oil; and treatment T7, T8 and T9 included addition of 0.5, 0.75 and 1% flaxseed oil; T10 (control) no addition. The results revealed that the treatments included addition of source of omeg-3 showed a significant superiority in all productive traits during the differ-ent production periods. | ||
