Dietary supplementation of finishing pigs with the docosahexaenoic acid-rich microalgae, : effects on performance, carcass characteristics and tissue fatty acid profile

Objective The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with the docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-rich microalgae, Aurantiochytrium limacinum (AURA) on pig performance, carcass traits, and the fatty acid composition of pork Longissimus lumborum (LL) and backfat.
