Optimizing DHA levels in piglets by lowering the linoleic acid to α-linolenic acid ratio
We examined the effect of altering the linoleic acid (LA, 18:2n-6) to α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3) ratio in the dietary fats of 3 day old piglets fed formula for 3 weeks. The LA-ALA ratios of the experimental formulas were 0.5:1, 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, and 10:1. The level of LA was held constant at 13% o...
