Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlasma Fatty Acid Profile of Gestating Ewes Supplemented with FishmealMamun M. Or-Rashid, Rebecca Fisher, Niel Karrow et al.Problem statement: The very long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (>18C) cannot be adequately synthesized by ruminant tissues to meet their requirements; therefore, their concentration in body depends on the supply through feed. It may be possible to improve the essential fatty acid status of ruminant animals, during gestation by manipulating the maternal diet with Fishmeal (FM). The objectives of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2012 · 8,219 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Supplemental Fat to Low Metabolizable Energy Diets on Cholesterol and Triglyceride Contents of Broiler MeatMansour Rezaei, Atena MonfarediProblem statement: Modern diets high in Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA) and low in Monounsaturated (MUFA) and Polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids are mostly blamed for the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Since dietary fatty acids are absorbed by monogastric animals and deposited in their tissues without significant modification, considerable potential exists for the manipulation of the fatty acid profile of poultry … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,019 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Fat-Mineral Preparation From Fish Oil on Fatty Acid Content on Cow MilkWitold Janeczek, Marek Szoltysik, Robert Kupczynski et al.8-week-lasting investigation aimed at the assessment of the effect of fish oil application in the form of fat-mineral preparation (F-M) on fatty acid content in milk fat. The subject of this investigation were highly efficient dairy cows (primiparous and multiparous). The cows were administered F-M containing fish oil (1% in dry mass of ration) which resulted in decreased level of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,824 accessesView PDF Cite
