Objective: To compare different omega-3 fatty acid 
sources for enrichment of egg from economical and 
qualitative aspects. Design: Completely Randomized Design. Animals: One hundred and eighty Single Comb White 
Leghorn laying hens, 24 weeks old. 
Procedure: Ten groups of 18 hens (6 hens/cage) were 
randomly assigned to each of ten dietary treatments and in completely randomized design, were fed diets 
containing 2.5 ko3%l, 5 ko3/d and 7.5 ko¾l flax seed, canola seed and fish meal or a wheat- soybean control 
diet, for 12 weeks. At the end of this period, percentage 
of linolenic acid (n-3), linoleic acid (n-6), oleic acid (n 9 
and some of saturated fatty acids were determined. 
Statistical Analysis: Analysis of variance of data were performed by SAS software and comparison of the 
means were done by Duncan’s multiple range test. 
Results: There were significant difference among groups 
on linolenic acid, linoleic acid percentage and ratio of 
linoleic acid (n-6) to linolenic acid (n-3) (P
7.5 ko3%l flax seed. During this period, there were no 
significant differences (P>O.05) among treatments on 
egg production, egg weights, daily feed intake, feed 
conversion, and quality of eggs (P>O.05). 
Clinical implications: With note to increasing in 
linolenic acid amount of egg yolks in the group given 7.5 
ko¾l canola seed and because of low cost and abundance 
of canola seed in Iran, and not to be influenced of 
performance of laying hens and quality of eggs, 7.5ko3%l 
canola seed could be recommended. J.Fac. Vet.Med.
