Camelina Meal and Chromium Picolinate Effects on Broiler Thigh Meat Nutritional Properties

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined effects of trivalent chromium and camelina meal on proximate composition, mineral content and fatty acids profile of broiler chicken thigh meat. An experiment with 2 x 3 factorial arrangement was performed on 240 Ross 308 broiler chicken aged 14 days. Six dietary treatments were elaborated as follows: 0 and 3% inclusion rate of Camelina meal and 0, 200 and 400 μg/kg chromium picolinate (CrPic). Supplementation of broiler diets with 3% Camelina meal led to significantly (P<0.05) increased crude fat concentrations in thigh samples compared to control group or with single chromium supplemented groups. In thigh samples, Zn and Fe concentrations increased under CrPic influence and fatty acids profile was influenced by Camelina meal presence in the diets. In Camelina meal supplemented groups, were registered significantly increased omega 3 fatty acids concentrations compared to control group or single chromium supplemented groups. The results of the present study found that Camelina meal and chromium picolinate supplements in broilers diets improved the nutritional properties of thigh meat, especially essential minerals content and fatty acids profile.

Effects of supplemental different clay minerals in broiler chickens under cyclic heat stress

“…Main components of ash are oxides, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates in many cases According to the results of this study, it is considered that the content of ash in the meat was increased by supplementing the ILT and ZLT groups with CM composed of silicon. As a result of this contrast study, supplementation of various types of chromium did not show a significant difference in the ash content of thigh muscle or breast meat [97,98]. These differences are suggested to be due to differences in broiler breeds and differences in chelation, and further studies are needed.…”

Effect of dietary inulin on the antioxidant profile of broiler chickens’ meat raised in heat stress conditions

“…They showed that inulintype fructans increase the solubility of minerals in the intestine by increasing the concentrations of short-chain fatty acids in the intestinal lumen. Untea et al, (2016) found that the use of a dietary symbiotic product (with inulin as prebiotic) in broilers' diets, led to increased trace mineral concentrations in thigh meat. Also, Vanhoof and DeSchrijver (1996) and Yalçınkaya et al ( 2012) proved the positive effect of inulin on Fe and Zn absorption.…”

Effects of different levels of organic chromium and selenomethionine cocktails in broilers

“…However, various studies reported no significant difference in the ash content of broiler meat due to chromoium supplementation. Based on this, the evidence of ash content in the drum stick meat of the CS8 group is considered to be Se or other minerals [52][53][54]. As a functional food, meat that can supply Se to humans is an important nutrient source [24].…”
