Abstract
The effect on 7-d-old Bovans chicks of 10 or 2% Linum usitatissimum se ed in their basal diet for 6 w was determined. The feeding of either L inum-seed diet caused a significant increase in growth rate in spite o f the development of centrilobular hepatocyte fatty vacuolation and an inflammatory cell response in the intestinal lamina propria and renal cortex. These effects were correlated with alterations In some hepato renal function and hematology parameters.
