Effects of diets containing fats on some carcass characteristics and blood parameters of broilers were investigated. Broilers were fed one of four different isonitrogenous diets containing 6% added fat. The effect of different fat sources on the moisture, ash, and fat ratios of thigh and breast of broilers was statistically significant. The effect of different fats on serum cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins (HDL), and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in broilers of broilers was significant, but the effect of those on triglyceride values was not significant. The effect of sex on blood parameters for cholesterol and triglyceride values was not statistically significant. However, the HDL value of males and the LDL value of females were significantly different.
