Table 1 Composition of rat diets (g/kg of diet)

¹ Diets contained boiled edible components of chicken carcass (BECC) prepared from chickens fed between 22 and 35 days of life diets differing in composition of added fat, vitamin E (vE) and selenium (Se) content, as follows.

² L=lard, 80 mg vE and 0.3 mg Se/kg; RF=rape seeds and fish oil, 80 mg vE and 0.3 mg Se/kg; RFE=rape seeds and fish oil, 150 mg vE and 0.3 Se/kg; RFES=rape seeds and fish oil, 150 mg vE and 0.7 mg Se/kg.

³ Provided per kg of diet: vitamin A, 15 000 IU; vitamin D₃, 1000 IU; vitamin E (α-tocopherol acetate), 30 mg; vitamin K₃, 5 mg; vitamin B₁, 12 mg; vitamin B₂, 12 mg; nicotinic acid, 40 mg; vitamin B₆, 10 mg; vitamin B₁₂, 0.05 mg; biotin, 0.2 mg; folic acid, 4 mg; choline, 1500 mg; Ca-pantothenate, 20 mg; Fe, 75 mg; Mn, 10 mg; Cu, 8 mg; Zn, 25 mg; I, 0.15 mg; Co, 0.15 mg; Se, 0.1 mg; inositol, 100 mg.
