Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different dietary fatty source on fatty liver performance and liver nutritional components in the goose. The 450, 70 days old France Landaise geese were randomly divided into three groups after a pre-overfeeding week then the goose were given three carbohydrate-rich diet meals a day for 21 days of a carbohydrate-rich diet consisting of boiled and salted maize with 2% fat (goose fat, soybean oil and corn oil) and water added. On days 7 and 21, the circulating levels of Alanine Transarninase (ALT), Glutamic-oxalacetic Transaminase (AST), Triglyeride (TG), Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Total Protein (TP), Cholesterol (CHOL) were determined. On day 21, liver, abdominal adipose tissue and the left filet were removed. Water, crude protein, total lipids (ether extract) and fatty acid compositions were determined. The results showed that the lowest feed intake/liver weight was soybean oil group, highest was goose fat group but there was no significant statistical difference between them (p>0.05). While there was a significant statistical difference between soybean oil group, corn oil group and goose fat group in liver/body and liver/dressed (p<0.05). The soybean oil group had the highest level of phosphatides (lecithin and cephalin). The contents of linoleic acid in soybean oil group were significantly higher than the goose fat group and corn oil group (p<0.05). It was indicated that the effects of soybean oil on the goose made more effective fatty liver production and more PUFA deposited in livers it was good for farmer income and people health.
