Fats and fatty acids in poultry nutrition and health

Addition of fats or oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids in poultry dietsis a straightforward approach to enrich poultry products with polyunsaturatedfatty acids. Consequently, there has been a great interest in using differenttypes of fats, oils or oil seeds as feed additives in poultry nutrition.In addition, the role of poultry food products in meeting the human requirement of much needed functional nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids is discussed. We have also included a chapter on appropriate techniques for lipid analysis. We have attempted to include as much up to date and relevant information onthe roles of fats and fatty acids in poultry nutrition, health and product quality in this book. Our intended audience for this book is graduate and undergraduate students in animal and poultry sciences together with professionals inthe poultry and allied industries.
