Abstract
The effect of complete compound feed (CCF) with a different level of crude fat, due to the use of sunflower oil (SO), on the qualitative characteristics of muscle tissue in young Linda geese was studied. The introduction of SO into the composition of CCF contributed to an increase in the concentration of linoleic acid in it by 43–47%. No statistically significant differences were found in the chemical composition of the muscle tissue of the chest and legs. The best flavour had the meat of geese fed CCF with introduction of SO. The inclusion of SO in goslings rations did not negatively affect the serum biochemical composition of young geese up to 60 days of age.
