3.4.2. Eggs
Total lipids were significantly higher in eggs from BFT female
(266.6 ± 8.1 mg g−1DM) compared to those from CW female
(239.7 ± 16.8 mg g−1DM; p = 0.04). PLs and FA in the PL fraction in
eggs from BFT females were, respectively, 2.5 and 2.2 fold higher
(p ≤ 0.05) compared to their levels in eggs from CW females (Table 7).
In eggs from BFT females, PLs represented 40% of the total lipid content,
while those from CW females presented only 18% (p ≤ 0.05). The PL content
being 2.5 fold higher in the BFT eggs, the contents of all FA found in
this class of lipids were also higher with this treatment compared to CW
