UNASSIGNED: 1. A 42-d trial was conducted to investigate the effect of adding synbiotic to diets containing two different types of fat on performance, blood lipids and @entity844 (FA) composition and oxidative stability of breast and thigh meat in broilers. 2. A total of 800 one-d-old male broiler @entity1573 were randomly assigned into 1 of 8 treatments with 4 replicates of 25 birds per treatment. The experiment consisted of a 4*2 factorial arrangement of treatments including 4 concentrations of synbiotic (0, 0.5, 1 or 1.5 g/kg diet) and 2 types of fat [sunflower oil (SO) or canola oil (CO)] at an inclusion rate of 50 g/kg diet. 3. Dietary fat type did not affect body @entity1017 (BWG) and feed conversion ratio ( @entity6780 ) during the overall experimental period (0-42 d). However, fat type modified serum lipid profile and FA composition and @entity4466 -reactive substances (TBARS) content in breast and thigh meat. 4. The addition of synbiotic to the diet linearly improved overall BWG and @entity6780 and also decreased serum @entity165 and low-density lipoprotein @entity165 concentrations. The TBARS value in thigh meat after 30 d of storage at 4   C was linearly decreased as the synbiotic inclusion concentrations in the diets increased. Dietary synbiotic also decreased the proportion of @entity8981 and increased n-6 @entity5204 concentration in thigh meat, whereas the FA profile of breast meat was not affected by synbiotic supplementation. Moreover, the @entity5204 / @entity10194 ratio in the breast meat was linearly increased when synbiotic was included in the CO-containing diets. 5. In conclusion, the addition of synbiotic to broiler diets had a positive effect on growth performance, blood lipid profile and meat quality. The results also support the use of synbiotic to increase the capacity of canola oil for enhancing @entity5204 / @entity10194 ratio of breast meat in broilers.

Effect of synbiotic supplementation and dietary fat sources on broiler performance,serum lipids, muscle XXXX profile and meat quality.
