Post hatch changes in arachidonic acid content in the cardiac ventricle (mg/100 g) of progeny chicks as affected by maternal diet. High n-3 and Low n-3 represent breeder hen diet containing 3.5% fish oil or sunflower oil as the source of long chain n-3 fatty acid or n-6 fatty acid (linoleic acid). Chicks were fed a diet devoid of long chain n-3 or n-6 fatty acids during the 42-day feeding trial. *Significantly different (P < 0.05). n = 6
