ABSTRACT
The study was conducted on 21 one-year-old Zatorska geese (3 groups of 7 birds each) during
the laying period. The geese were fed unsupplemented diet or diet supplemented with 200 mg
vitamin C/kg or vitamin C and sodium. Forty-five eggs were evaluated. Feeding geese with vitamin
C-supplemented feeds increased the linoleic and docosahexaenoic acid contents and reduced the
n-6/n-3 PUFA ratio, whereas the addition of sodium had only a slight influence on the fatty acid
profile of egg yolk lipids.
