Extract

There has been known that body fat of pigs comes from a combination of fats produced endogenously and those from the diet for pigs. Polyunsaturated fatty acid absorbed from the diet specially inhibit endogenous synthesis of fatty acids, inflating the effect of dietary fat composition on body fat composition (Pettigrew and Esnaola, 2001). Futhermore, the supplementation of a highly polyunsaturated oil can decrease total serum cholesterols in pigs compared to those fed the diet supplemented with a highly saturated fat or oil. However, the plasma triacylglycerols concentration can vary greatly, depending in large part on dietary intake, storage in or mobilization from adipose tissues, and synthesis in the liver. Thus, the current study attempt to specify the effect of fat source on fatty acid composition of main tissues and plasma lipid concentration in growing-finishing pigs.
