Abstract
We examined the fat adsorption ability of eucommia (E.) ulmoides leaves when E. Ulmoides leaves were fed to chickens for 21 days. The dry E. Ulmoides leaves feeding reduced amount of total fat and cholesterol in chicken's meat significantly. And, E. ulmoides leaves feeding reduced SFA ratios and PUFA ratios in chicken’s meat significantly. On the other hand, E.ulmoides leaves feeding increased amount of total fat and bile acid in chicken’s excretion. This study showed that E. ulmoides leaves adsorbs triacylglycerol, bile acid, and SFA selectively, and discharged from the body.
