Healthiest Versions
Omega-3 Boosted
Meat portions from broiler chickens fed 12% flaxseed for 36 d contained high amounts of n-3 fatty acids. In 100 g of fatty acid-enriched breast meat, whole leg and wing there was a total of 0.2, 1.6 and 2.0 g of n-3fatty acids, including 10.4, 20.3and 25.3mg of DHA, respectively. [1]
Chickens were given fish oil, flax seeds, and chia seeds in different combinations. The macronutrient breakdown of the eggs remained unchanged, but the flax and chia seeds increased the ALA content of the eggs and the fish oil increased the DHA and EPA content. Flax and chia supplementation over the entire life of the chicken increased DHA and EPA somewhat, whereas 12-week supplementation had minimal impact. [2]
