The optimal physical, chemical and nutritional properties of natural lipids depend on the structure and composition of triacylglycerols. However, they are not always mutually compatible. Lipid modification is a good way to give them specific functionalities, increase their oxidative stability, or improve their nutritional value. As such, chemical and enzymatic interesterification may be used to...

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of supplementing diets fed to growing pigs with fat sources differing in their composition of fatty acids on the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of minerals. A diet based on corn, potato protein isolate, and 7% sucrose was formulated. Five additional diets that were similar to the previous diet with the exception that sucrose was rep...

OBJECTIVE An experiment was to evaluate the interplay of dietary lipid sources and feeding regime in the transition from sow milk to solid food of abruptly weaned piglets. METHODS Soon after weaning, 144 piglets were selected and were trained over a 15 day period to experience gradually reducing dietary fat content from 12% to 6% for lard (L), soybean oil (S), and coconut oil (C) and their fe...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of turmeric powder (trp), tomato pomace (tp), fat sources (canola oil, soybean oil and tallow) on immune system and jejunum morphometric parameters of heat stressed broiler chickens. five hundred four one-d-old ross broiler were randomly distributed to 36 experimental units and 12 dietary treatments (3 replicates with 12 birds in each). the ...

to assess the effects of different fat supplements (palm oil, soybean oil or complete roasted soybean) to the transition period diets on holstein dairy cows, 30 multiparous holstein cows (fourth parity) with 794±41 kg of body weight and 250±10 days of pregnancy were, randomly, attributed to experimental diets including palm oil (treatment 1), soybean oil (treatment 2) or roasted whole soybean, ...
