Jia, W., Rogiewicz, A., Bruce, H. L. and Slominski, B. A. 2010. Feeding flaxseed enhances deposition of omega-3 fatty acids in broiler meat portions in different manner. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 90: 203-206. Feeding a diet containing 12% flaxseed for 36 d significantly increased the n-3 fatty acid deposition in broiler meat. Based on this study, consuming 100 g of such fatty acid-enriched breast meat, whole leg or wing, a total of 0.2, 1.6 and 2.0 g of n-3 fatty acids, including 10.4, 20.3 and 25.3 mg of docosahexaenoic acid, respectively, would be provided by each portion, which offers consumers an alternative to enhance their daily n-3 fatty acid intake.
