Effect of Fish Oil on Performance and Blood Indices in Broiler Chicks Immunized with Sheep Erythrocytes Navid Hosseini-Mansoub Young Young Researchers Club, Marageh branch, Islamic Azad University, Marageh, Iran Navid Hosseini-Mansoub; Effect of fish oil on performance and blood indices in Broiler chicks immunized with Sheep erythrocytes ABSTRACT An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of fish oil (FO) on growing broilers rendered insusceptible to a disease such as sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) after pre-starter diet. The birds were fed a common control diets, in the pre-starter phase (1 to 7 d), and from d 8 on, two hundred and sixteen birds were assigned to 1-4 dietary groups and received the diets supplemented with 0, 1.5, 3, or 6 % FO, throughout a 35-d growth period. The birds were immunized with SRBC at 15 and 36 d of age. The serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels significantly decreased in the groups treated with fish oil at the age of 41 days (p
