1 A protected fish oil product (PFO; Gromega) was used to enrich the diet in n-3 PUFA. poly(9,9-di-n-octyl-2,7-fluorene) Polyunsaturated fatty acid percentage Sus scrofa
2 Adding 1% PFO to the diet increased the n-3:n-6 PUFA ratio in colostrum and milk compared with controls (P = 0.05). poly(9,9-di-n-octyl-2,7-fluorene) Polyunsaturated fatty acid percentage Sus scrofa
3 Pigs from the 1% PFO treatment group weighed more (P = 0.03) on day 3 postweaning and had a greater (P 0.05) n-3:n-6 PUFA ratio in plasma on each day sampled compared with 0% PFO controls. poly(9,9-di-n-octyl-2,7-fluorene) Polyunsaturated fatty acid percentage Sus scrofa
4 These results suggest that providing a PFO supplement as 1% of the diet to sows beginning in late gestation and during lactation can increase the n-3:n-6 PUFA ratio in their offspring, which may improve growth and reduce the acute physiological stress response in the pigs postweaning. poly(9,9-di-n-octyl-2,7-fluorene) Polyunsaturated fatty acid percentage Sus scrofa
