Fatty acid composition of abdominal adipose tissue in broilers fed green-oak (Quercus ilex), cork oak acorn (Quercus Suber L.) based diets

Abstract: -Male broilers, 30 for every diet, were fed for six weeks, diets containing 60% green oak (GO) and oak cork (CO) acorns compared to 60% corn (C). The body weight of the chickens fed the oak acorn-based diets was 25% lower than that of the controls (C). Abdominal adipose tissue (AAT) was twice heavier in the controls compared to broilers fed oak acorn-based diets. The total lipids of AAT were higher in the controls compared to the oak acorn fed chickens (34.4 against 15.3 g per 100 g of AAT in the CO). The palm… Show more

“…In Jordan, oak acorns have been used as food either directly or as an ingredient in products such as bread, cake, and coffee (Rababah et al, 2008;Jacknis, 2004). In addition, oak acorns have been extensively under exploitation as a fodder for cattle (Bouderoua and Selselet-Attou, 2003;Nowar et al, 1994;Al-Jassim et al, 1988).…”

“…Based on the results of current study, no significant effect of treatment was observed on the blood levels of glucose, triglyceride, total protein, cholesterol, HDL and LDL, which is in consistent with Rezaei and Semnaninejad (2016), who reported no significant effect of dietary raw and processed oak acorn on serum glucose, haemoglobin, albumin and total protein concentrations. However, these findings are in contrast with the data reported by Bouderoua and Selselet‐Attou (2003) that may be due in part to the oak species and the lower diet inclusion level of oak acorn in the present trial (10% and 20%) compared with the level they used (60%). In the current study, decreased blood level of LDL was detected in hens fed water‐soaked oak‐included diet.…”

“…Shimada (2001) reported that the main nutrients of two species of acorns were carbohydrate, protein, and fat and their main component was NFE (80-90% DM). Due to high levels of carbohydrates (47-60% starch) (Kekos & Kaukios, 1985), oak acorn may potentially be used as an energy source and therefore, replace corn in broiler diets, such as the case in NorthAfrican countries (Bouderoua & Selselet-Attou, 2003). There is limited information on the use of oak acorn in broiler nutrition.…”
