Omega-3 fatty acids are quite beneficial for human health. These
play a vital role in lowering blood cholesterol, blood
triglycerides and, hence, blood pressure. Omega-3 fatty acids are
helpful in preventing heart diseases, skin diseases and auto immune
disorders. The daily intake of 0.5 to 1.0 gram omega-3 fatty acids
is recommended for an individual for a healthy life. The food
industry is taking steps to return these healthful fatty acids to
the human diets. In this regards, poultry meat and eggs can serve
the purpose if enriched with omega-3 fatty acids. Laying hens have
the ability to absorb and deposit dietary fatty acids without
considerable modification in the composition. Thus, the lipid
metabolism in the hens permits the fortification of eggs with
omega-3 fatty acids by dietary supplementation to increase the
provision of these fatty acids which are appropriate for human
consumption. This book provides the necessary information about the
enrichment of eggs with omega-3 fatty acids by supplementing
linseed oil and canola oil to the diets of laying hens. These oils
are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids and readily promote the
deposition of omega-3 fatty acids in the eggs.
