Effect of crude rice bran oil on muscle cholesterol and serum biochemistry in broilers

An experiment was conducted to study the inclusion of crude rice bran oil on production performance, carcass characteristics and biochemical parameters for a period of seven weeks with two hundred and sixteen commercial, straight run day-old Vencobb broiler chicks. These chicks were randomly grouped into six treatments with three replicates of twelve chicks each. The treatment groups consisted of 0 per cent (T1), 1 per cent (T2), 2 per cent (T3), 3 per cent (T4), 4 per cent (T5) and 5 per cent (T6) crude rice bran oil included in the broiler diet.
