1. Restriction of food to ewes bearing twin lambs showed a trend to decrease the level of ω6 fatty acids in muscle phospholipids of the foetus though this was not significant statistically (P < 0·05).

2. There was a significant increase in the fatty acid ratio, 20:3ω9:20:4ω6 in the twin lambs as compared with single lambs.

3. There were no symptoms of polyunsaturated fatty acid deficiency.
