摘要：
A premix for broiler feed and a method of feeding a broiler that produces DHAand EPA enriched chicken while avoiding or reducing negative effects to thetaste,colour, texture, aroma, pH and shelf life which may be significant enough tomake thechicken unacceptable to consumers. One embodiment of the method involvesfeeding abroiler over about 14 to 21 days with a broiler feed supplemented with thepremix. Thepremix includes marine-sourced docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoicacid(EPA), plant-sourced alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and organic selenium. Thebroilers arefed until their total DHA, EPA and ALA intakes are in a certain range. Thebroilers arethen slaughtered and processed into chicken products. This may result inchickenproducts with an enrichment of omega-3 EFAs in the range of about 239.9 toabout 472.7milligrams of total omega-3 per 100 grams of total edible meat.
