IMPORTANCE OF SUPPLYING DAIRY COWS WITH ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS (EFA) AND CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACIDS (CLA) DURING THE TRANSITION PERIOD ON METABOLISM AND HEALTH
Ketogenesis and steatosis are common sequelae of the severe mobilization of fat reserves necessary at the onset of lactation when the energy expenditures for milk and maintenance exceed the energy provided by voluntary feed intake in dairy cows. This situation along with a common state of systemic …

OMICS APPROACHES FOR OMEGA-6/OMEGA-3 POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACID RATIO IN PIGS
In general, meat quality is heavily influenced by fatty acid (FA) composition and intramuscular fat, which is mostly dependent on the dietary fat intake of pigs, but it is also affected by genetic variants. In this PhD thesis, we elucidated the effects of dietary lipids, in terms of omega-6 …
