Impacts of feeding different lipid sources on growth performance, thigh meat quality characteristics, dietary amino acid metabolism and small intestine development in Landes geese.

ABSTRACT: This test aimed to assess the effects of different lipid sources on growth performance, thigh meat quality, dietary amino acid metabolism and small intestine development in Landes geese. Nine hundred and ninety healthy sixty-day-old Landes geese with a BW of 3.87 ± 0.13 kg (mean ± SEM) were randomly assigned to three treatments, with 15 replicates of 22 geese per pen. All the geese were overfed with the same corn meal-based ration, while the treatment 1) included 25 g/kg soybean oil; 2) included 25 g/kg goose fat; 3) included 10 g/kg soybean oil plus 15 g/kg goose fat (MIX). The rearing period lasted 30 d, and all the geese were slaughtered at the end. Results showed that geese supplemented with MIX had greater average daily feed intake (P < 0.001), body weight gain (P = 0.043) and daily r
