Previous studies have shown that including fish oil (FO) in the diet of beef cattle resulted in increased long chain C20n-3 PUFA (C20:5n-3 and C22:6n-3) in muscle resulting in a lower n-6:n-3 ratio (Scollan et al., 2005). Fish oil is considered to be a good inhibitor of biohydrogenation in the rumen, resulting in increased production of C18:1 trans-11 (Vaccenic acid), the precursor for conjugated linoleic acid (CLA cis-9, trans-11) in muscle. This study investigated the effects of incremental levels of FO in the diet on fatty acid metabolism in the rumen.

ABSTRACTThe effect of linolenic acid (C18:3ω3) on the development of Strongyloides ratti first-stage larvae (L1) in culture was studied. The fatty acid composition of S. ratti free-living generations was analyzed by gas chromatography. L1 had abundant linoleic acid (C18:2ω6) but its proportion decreased with development. On the contrary, eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5ω3) and C20:4ω3 were prominent in the filariform larva (L3). Because C20:5ω3 is generally synthesized from C18:3ω3 via C20:4ω3, the high ratio of C20:5ω3/C18:3ω3 of L3 in all the free-living generations suggested that polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism, particularly the ω-3 series, and eicosanoids produced had important roles in the development of S. ratti L1.
