    Abstract: The activity of 3-Hydroxyacyl CoA Dehydrogenase (3-HADH), rate limiting enzyme relating fatty acid oxidation, in broiler and layer embryos was compared, because their growth and lipid metabolism are largely different during embryogenesis. The 3-HADH activity in the liver was constant from the embryonic stage to the hatch, but the activity was significantly higher in broilers than in layers.
