| Abstract | ||
| The research was conducted on broiler breeders (Ross 308) to determine the effect of flax oil, palm oil, and vitamin C on productive performance and egg quality. The breeders were divided into five treatments (20 chickens and 4 roosters/treatment): the first treatment (control), the second treatment (2% flax oil), the third treatment (2% flax oil + vitamin C 300 mg/kg feed), the fourth treatment (2% palm oil), and the fifth treatment (2% palm oil + vitamin C 300 mg/kg feed). The results showed the significant superiority of the productivity indicators for all treatments (P≥0.05) compared to the control treatment of the characteristics of the number, mass, and percentage of egg production H.D% and improved the food conversion factor significantly, while the weight of eggs decreased significantly in all treatments except for the treatment of palm oil and vitamin C did not differ significantly compared to the control. | ||
