Seventeen experimental treatments were designed according
to a series of mixtures of different proportions
of the studied fats (FO, LO, RO, SO, and T). Performance
parameters and FA percentages were subjected to ANOVAby
using theGLMprocedure of SAS (SAS Institute,
1996). Means were compared for significant difference (P
< 0.05) by using the least significant difference method
of the same statistical package.
The comparative responseof yolk FA in proportion to changes in dietary FA percentages
was assessed by regression analysis. Data were adjusted
to linear functions and subjected to a test of
slope comparison.
