Extract

The fatty acid composition of the back fats of pigs whose basic diets were buttermilk or skim milk have been determined by ester-fractionation, and the results are compared with those of previous workers. Pigs whose diets were supplemented with copra contained up to 13 mol. % of myristic acid, with smaller amounts of lauric acid.

Experimental evidence supports the view that dietary linoleic acid is assimilated to a greater extent by slow-growing than by fast-growing pigs. Dietary lauric and myristic acids, however, appear in greater proportions in the depots of fast-growing, as compared with slow-growing pigs.

The di-, and polyethenoid C18 acids of the fat of unsupplemented milk-fed pigs appeared not to contain appreciable amounts of linoleic acid.
