Dietary Effect of Iranian Native Turkey Breast Meat Saturated Fatty Acids

This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of dietary Canola oil (unsaturated oil) of on breast meat Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA) percentage. Ninety male Iranian native turkey were randomly distributed into three experimental treatments to determine of the amount canola oil fatty acids deposited in raw chicken tissues. These diets were isonitrogenous and isoenergetic were given to broiler chickens throughout a 20 wk growth period. Meat fatty acids profiles with Gas Chromatography (GC) technique were measured. Data was analyzed with one way ANOVA and means compared with Duncan test. According to results Saturated fatty acids for breast meat significantly (p<0.05) from 40.7854% reached to 32.977 and 32.642% for experimental treatment and this status increased unsaturated fatty acid content.
