The research aimed to investigate the effect of cellulase, carnitine and Lemuru fish oil supplementation on lipid and fatty acid contents of Muscovy duck eggs. A total of 120 Muscovy duck was allocated randomly to 4 dietary treatments. The basal diet consisted of corn, rice bran and layer concentrate, defined as P1. The remaining treatments were basal diet + 0.1% cellulase enzyme (P2), basal diet + 0.1% cellulase enzyme + 40 ppm L carnitine (P3), basal diet + 0.1% cellulase enzyme + 40ppm L-carnitine + 4% Lemuru fish oil (P4). Result shows supplementation of cellulase enzyme did not influence lipid, cholesterol, and fatty acid contents in eggs resulted, while supplementation of carnitine decreased cholesterol content (P<0.01) without affecting lipid and fatty acid contents. Furthermore, supplementation of Lemuru fish oil in diet containing cellulase enzyme and carnitine enhanced lipid, high-density lipoprotein, and unsaturated fatty acid contents in the eggs (P<0.01). Accordingly, supplementation of Lemuru fish oil decreased low-density lipoprotein, cholesterol, and saturated fatty acid contents (P<0.01). It is concluded that supplementation of carnitine and fish oil in the diet produced Muscovy duck eggs with considerably high unsaturated fatty acids and low cholesterol contents.
