Abstract:

1. The α-tocopherol (AT) content of abdominal fat and fat stability increased as a function of the duration of α-tocopheryl acetate (ATA) feeding in broilers fed on diets containing either 40 g acidulated soyabean-oil soapstock (ASS) or tallow/kg. A linear relationship was observed between AT content of the adipose tissue and its stability with both types of fat supplements. 2. The stabilities of carcass fat and meat of 9-week-old broilers fed on diets containing ASS with 300 mg ethoxyquin (EQ)/kg or diets containing tallow with 20 mg ATA/kg from weeks 5 to 9 were comparable with those obtained by feeding these antioxidants and fats throughout the growth period. 3. ATA added to a diet containing ASS, and EQ added to a diet containing tallow did not improve meat stability despite such an effect on adipose tissue when fed for 9 weeks. The results emphasise the importance of using the dietary antioxidant appropriate to the fat supplement to improve carcass stability. © 1978, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
