Abstract
Effects of diets containing fats on blood parameters and some carcass characteristics were investigated. Broilers were fed one of four different isonitrogenous diets containing 5% added fat (Soybean oil, Corn oil, Sunflower oil and Vegetable oil). The effect of different fat sources on the protein rations of thigh and breast muscles of broilers was statistically not significant. The effect of different fats on serum cholesterol and mean lipoprotein in broilers was significant (p<0.01), but the effect of those on triglyceride values was not significant. The effect of sex on blood parameters for cholesterol and triglyceride values was not statistically significant, significant (p<0.05) for lipoprotein.
