Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary linoleic acid level on laying performance, egg quality and lipids metabolism of ducks during the early laying period. A total of 900 healthy Fujian Longyan ducks with similar body weight were randomly allotted into 6 groups with 6 replicates per group and 25 ducks per replicate. Ducks were fed experimental diets with six supplemental levels of linoleic acid (0.55%, 0.75%, 0.95%, 1.15%, 1.35% and 1.55%) by completely randomized design. The experiment lasted for 4 weeks. The results showed that dietary linoleic acid level did not affect the laying performance of ducks during the early laying period (P>0.05), however, when dietary linoleic acid level was 0.95%, we got the best laying rate,egg weight, daily egg mass and the ratio of feed to egg. The yolk color was increased with the increasing of dietary linoleic acid level (P<0.05). When dietary linoleic acid level was 1.55%, the yolk weight was significantly higher than dietary linoleic acid level was 0.75% (P<0.05). Dietary linoleic acid level did not affect the plasma biochemistry indicators and the content of triglyceride and cholesterol of liver(P>0.05). The polyunsaturated fatty acids of yolk and liver was increased with the increasing of dietary linoleic acid level (P<0.05), while the monounsaturated fatty acids of yolk was decreased (P<0.05). The results indicate that we can get better laying performance when dietary linoleic acid level is 0.95%. Dietary linoleic acid level affects the fatty acid profiles in yolk and liver of the ducks.
