Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of chia seeds added to broiler rations at the level of 5% on live weight, live weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, breast meat fatty acid profile and meat shelf life. A total of 112 daily-aged Sasso chicks were used in the experiment. Chicks were divided into 2 groups of 56 animals. Each group is divided into 8 subgroups of 7 broilers. The experimental group ration was prepared to contain 5% chia seeds starting from the 15th day. During the experiment, feed and water were given ad libitum. Before the experiment, a 14-day initial ration was applied to all groups. The trial lasted 49 days. In the study, there was no statistical difference between the groups in terms of body weight, live weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion rates (P>0.05). At the end of the experiment, the breast meat Linolenic acid ratio of the experimental group (2.02%) was significantly higher than the control group (1.07%) (P<0.05).The arachidonic acid ratio was found to be significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). While the TBARS value of breast meats kept at +4°C for seven days increased in the control group, it decreased significantly in the experimental group (P<0.05). As a result of this study, it can be said that chia seeds have a positive effect on the shelf life of broiler meat.
