Effect of providing a polyunsaturated fatty acid-rich protected fat to lactating goats on growth and body composition of suckling goat kids

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of improving the composition of goat meat, in terms of the fatty acid composition of the different fat deposits. For this purpose, we used two groups of 12 female goats each of which had recently undergone a double birth. The animals were maintained under semi-extensive conditions and trough-fed with a concentrate that was either non-supplemented or supplemented with 50 g/kg of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)-rich fat protected against ruminant metabo… Show more

“…Interestingly, the differences observed in intramuscular and subcutaneous lamb fat reflected those found in their mother's milk. Despite changes due to the treatments administered, the FA composition values observed in this study are within the range of those reported earlier by Cañ eque et al (2005) and Osorio et al (2007) for suckling lambs, and similar to those observed in suckling kids (Sanz Sampelayo et al, 2006;Nudda et al, 2008).…”

“…Arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) and eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3) levels are similar in milk and subcutaneous fat, but greater concentrations of these FAs were found in intramuscular fat samples. This is because 20:4n-6 and 20:5n-3 are mainly incorporated into the phospholipid fraction in the muscle, whereas these FAs are found in much smaller quantities in the triglycerides of adipose tissue (Sanz Sampelayo et al, 2006).…”

“…On the other hand, the mechanism for reducing triglycerides in blood of suckling kids of dams fed fat source rich in PUFA is due to that the PUFA reduced the lipolysis and thus led to lower plasma levels of not esterified fatty acids (NEFA) which subsequently lead to lower levels of triglycerides (Sampelayo et al, 2006).…”
