Replication Data for: The effect of feeding flaxseed as a source of omega-3 fatty acids to broiler chickens and table egg pullet breeders on body weight, reproductive performance, and hatchability performance indices

This study was part of a larger project investigating the effects of maternal feeding of n-3 FA to broiler and layer breeders on offspring brains and behaviour (Whittle, 2023). Here we report the results of feeding flaxseed as a source of n-3 FA on breeders’ body weight and uniformity during rearing and laying, egg production and hatchery performance indices. In two separate experiments, we fed the broiler and layer breeders diets differing in n-3 FA during rearing and egg production.
