The decrease of cholesterol levels on broiler meat by the addition of crude fish oil

This research was to know the potential of crude fish oil to decreased total cholesterol levels in broiler meat. Twenty broilers divided into four treatment groups and five replications, P0: standard feed without crude fish oil as control, P1: standard feed + 1% crude fish oil, P2: standard feed + 2% crude fish oil, P3: standard feed + 4% crude fish oil. The results of this research showed significance difference (P<0.05) among control and all treatments. The addition of fish oil on standard feed could decrease in cholesterol levels. In control showed the highest total cholesterol levels of broiler meat (83.844 mg/100 g) and the lowest of total cholesterol levels showed by the addition of 2% and 4% fish oil (68.281 mg/100 g and 68.278 mg/100 g) respectively. The conclusion of this research that addition of 2% crude fish oil could decrease total cholesterol levels in broiler meat from 83.844 mg/100 g to be 68.281 mg /100 g.
