This research was conducted in the aim of investigating the influence of sunflower, rape and fish oil in diet on the profile of fatty acids in the chicken meat. Samples of brast meat and meat of thighs with drumsticks were separately analysed to determine the PUFA w6 / PUFA w3 ratio in the most valuable parts of the carcass. Usage of sunflower oil (1st group), rape oil (2nd group) and fish oil (3rd group) in the diets for broilers resulted in alteration of fatty acids profile in the chicken meat. PUFA w6 were deposited in greater amounts in the meat of thighs with drumsticks, while PUFA w3 in the breast meat. PUFA w6 / PUFA w3 ratio in the breast meat in 1st, 2nd and 3rd group was 6.27, 3.75 and 2.30 and in the meat of thighs with drumsticks 7.56, 5.00 and 2.87. Results show that usage of oils of different composition can influence the ratio of fatty acids in the chicken meat.
