This study evaluated the effects of rotifers enriched with three enhancement products (Nannochloropsis, S.presso, and Algamac 3080) on the body fatty acid composition, growth, survival, jaw deformity, and bone development-related gene expression of the golden pompano larvae. The rotifers enriched with Nannochloropsis were rich in EPA, and the rotifers enriched with S.presso and Algamac 3080 were rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The level of DHA in Algamac 3080 is higher than that in S.presso. The first feeding started at 3 DPH, and data were collected at 8 DPH. The results showed that the body fatty acid composition of the larvae was basically the same as that of the feeding rotifers. The specific growth rate of S.presso and Algamac 3080 treatment was significantly higher than the un-enriched treatment (P < 0.05). The survival rate of Algamac 3080 treatment was significantly lower than the other treatments (P < 0.05), and the jaw deformity rate of S.presso treatment was significantly lower than the Nannochloropsis and un-enriched treatment (P < 0.05). The expression level of BMP2 and BMP4 in golden pompano larvae were not significantly affected by the enhancement products (P > 0.05), and the expression level of RXRα decreased significantly in the S.presso and Algamac 3080 treatment (P < 0.05). This study indicates that S.presso was an enhancement product more suitable for rotifers for golden pompano larvae. This study provided reliable reference and guidance for the first feeding of golden pompano larvae and also provided more reference data for the study of the mechanism of diet on larval fish bone deformity.

This article deals with the process of obtaining quality raw milk by analyzing its lipid composition. The lipid composition of raw milk depends on many factors, among which, first of all, is the species, the composition of the diet and the physiological state of the breast. In recent years, a large amount of data has accumulated on the fluctuations of certain lipid parameters of milk depending on the type, age, lactation, diet, time of year, exercise, animal husbandry technology, physiological state of the lactating organism in general and breast status in particular. Factors of regulation of fatty acid composition of raw milk: genetically determined parameters of quality and safety; fatty acid composition of the diet; synthesis of fatty acids by microorganisms of the digestive tract; synthesis of fatty acids in the breast; physiological state of the breast. The milk of each species of productive animals has its own specific lipid profile and is used in the formulation of certain dairy products to obtain the planned technological and nutritional parameters. Diagnosis of productive animals for subclinical mastitis involves the use of auxiliary (thermometry, thermography, electrical conductivity) and laboratory research methods: counting the number of somatic cells; use of specialized tests; microbiological studies of milk; biochemical studies of milk. The biochemical component in the diagnosis of subclinical forms of mastitis is underestimated. An increase in body temperature implies an increase in the intensity of heat release during the oxidation of substrates, sometimes due to a decrease in the intensity of synthesis of energy-intensive compounds. There are simply no other sources of energy in the body. The situation is the same with certain parts of the metabolism, which are aimed at the development of protective reactions to the etiological factor aimed at the defeat of the breast. That is why the biochemical composition of breast secretions in the absence of clinical signs of mastitis undergoes biochemical changes and the task of scientists is to develop mechanisms for clear tracking of such changes, identification of animals with subclinical forms of mastitis and effective treatment.

Dietary fatty acids have been shown to affect the activity of the immune system in a variety of species (Calder, 1998) although the exact mechanism by which they influence the nature of the immune response is unclear. The effect of dietary fatty acids on the fatty acid composition of intestinal mucosa is important since this tissue has a rapid turn over and is a major site of antigenic exposure and immune defence. The speed with which changes in dietary fatty acid intake are reflected in the fatty acid composition of cells and tissue of the body varies. In ruminants the development of a functional rumen greatly influences the nature of the fatty acids available for absorption from the small intestine, however, in pre-ruminant animals, milk may be used as a medium to supplement the diet with specific dietary fatty acids. This work was carried out to establish the extent to which different oil supplements could change the fatty acid composition of intestinal mucosa in milk fed pre-ruminant calves.

The effects of fatty acid composition in artificial feed on the change in the fatty acid composition of carp muscles and the relationship between Δ6-Fad and Elovl5 genes participating in the regulation of fatty acid synthesis were studied. Juveniles were fed three semi-purified diets (D1–D3) for 6 weeks with different lipid sources: D1, fish oil with high highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA); D2, corn oil with high linoleic acid (18:2n-6, LA), D3, linseed oil with high α-linolenic acid (18:3n-3, LNA); then, samples were taken to explore the molecular mechanism and the factors which affect the synthesis of carp HUFA. The content of LA and arachidonic acid (20:4n-6, AA) in common carp fed Diet 2 was higher than in carp receiving D3 (P < 0.05), but the contents of eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3, EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3, DHA) were lower than in carp fed D1 and D2 (P < 0.05). The liver transcript abundance of Δ6-Fad and Elovl5 in fish fed D2 and D3 at the end of 6 weeks was generally higher than the abundance in the initial stage and in the fish fed D1 (P < 0.05). The results suggest that the common carp can biosynthesise HUFA, and the type and content of fatty acids in feed affected not only the composition and content of fatty acids in common carp muscles, but also the Δ6-Fad and Elovl5 gene expression involved in the biosynthesis of HUFA. Feeding high levels of n-3 HUFA diet can increase the body content of EPA and DHA in common carp. The results of this research may provide a theoretical basis for choosing an appropriate source of lipid for common carp feeds.

Background: Fishes are good sources of the fatty acids such as ω-3 and ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and fat-soluble vitamins for human consumption which play vital roles for various biological processes in the body and help in the proper growth and prevention of diseases. Objective: The objective of the present study was to determine the fatty acid composition, cholesterols, triglyceride and vitamin contents of some selected fishes from Hel river, Assam, India. Methods: Fatty acid composition of fish species was examined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, lipid components were determined following the reported methods and vitamins A and D contents were investigated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Results: Fatty acid compositions varied from 51.20-89.47% of saturated fatty acids, 0.27-19.68% of monounsaturated fatty acids and 1.75-30.76% of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid ranged from 0.54-22.30% and 1.26-18.85%, respectively. The fish species showed varying amounts of lipid components. The vitamins A and D were found in the range of 15.85-1287.0 μg/100 g and 45.0-677.24 μg/100 g, respectively. Conclusion: The fish species of this study are found rich in ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid along with noticeable amounts of vitamins A and D. Hence, these fish species have the potentials to serve as the natural dietary supplements for ω-3 fatty acids and other nutrients.

The effects of low-intensity exercise on the fatty acid composition in skeletal muscle and in serum were studied in 19 sedentary, middle-aged Swedish men. During a 10-wk period, all subjects were given a standardized diet with an identical fat composition. After 4 wk on this diet, they were randomly allocated to a daily exercise program (55% peak oxygen uptake) or to continue to live a sedentary life for the remaining 6 wk. Aerobic capacity (submaximal bicycle test) and peripheral insulin sensitivity (hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp) improved with training, whereas the body weight as well as the body composition (underwater weighing and bioimpedance) were unchanged. The proportions of palmitic acid (16:0) and linoleic acid [18:2(n-6)] and the sum of n-6 fatty acids [18:2(n-6), 20:3(n-6), 20:4(n-6)] were decreased in skeletal muscle phospholipids, whereas the proportion of oleic acid [18:1(n-9)] was increased, by training. The fatty acid profile in skeletal muscle triglycerides remained unchanged. We conclude that regular low-intensity exercise influences the fatty acid composition of the phospholipids in skeletal muscle, which hypothetically may contribute to changes of the skeletal muscle membrane fluidity and influence the peripheral insulin sensitivity.

Adipose tissue was dissected completely from 14 polar bears (Ursus maritimus) killed in the southeastern Northwest Territories and northern Manitoba in November 1988. Mean adipocyte volume, collagen content, the activities of hexokinase and phosphofructokinase, and the fatty acid composition of the triacylglycerols were measured in samples of adipose tissue from several superficial, intra-abdominal, and inter-muscular depots homologous to those of other terrestrial mammals. The total adipocyte complement was calculated from the mass of each depot and its site-specific adipocyte volume. All the adipose depots found in other Carnivora and most other mammals are present in polar bears. The superficial layer of adipose tissue in polar bears arises from thickening and lateral expansion of depots that are discrete in most other mammals. All depots except the cardiac adipose tissue expand with increasing fatness, but the superficial depots expand faster than any of the internal depots, almost entirely by adipocyte proliferation. The gross anatomy of the superficial adipose tissue is determined mainly by the effect of body mass on the ratio of the surface area of the body to its volume. The superficial depots account for a greater proportion of the total adipose tissue in larger bears and in fatter specimens. The total adipocyte complement is about two to three times greater than that predicted from allometric equations relating adipocyte complement to body mass in non-arctic carnivores. The fatty acid composition of the triacylglycerols in the adipose tissue of polar bears is similar to that of the milk and the serum, but there were fewer long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids than in their principal prey, ringed seals. There was no clearcut biochemical evidence for the existence of a thermal gradient between the inner and outer sides of the superficial adipose tissue. We conclude that in spite of their arctic habitat, neither the gross distribution of adipose tissue of polar bears nor its biochemical properties are adapted to thermal insulation. The enlarged superficial layer of adipose tissue is primarily an adaptation to increased energy storage.

There is an increasing interest in the effect of dietary lipids on the fatty-acid composition of animal tissue lipids, and long-chain fatty acids may make a substantial contribution to the nutritive value of the diet. A cow at pasture may ingest as much as 450 g of lipid in a day (Garton, 1960a) and a recent study reported the influence of pasturefeeding on the body-fat composition of horses (Bowland & Newell, 1974). Most of the data on the fatty-acid composition of pasture lipids are for clover-rich pastures and mixed pasture grasses grown in temperate climates (e.g. Garton, 1960b). By contrast, the lipid composition of tropical pastures has been neglected. This paper reports the seasonal changes in the lipid content and fatty-acid composition of eight species of tropical pasture plants.

The article presents the results of the study on fatty acids content of broiler chickens purchased from retailers and broiler chickens grown in organic farming. In the study we compared the obtained results. There are also results of the influence of developed preventive drug postbiotic on the fatty acid composition of broiler chickens. The samples were compared in terms of their nutritional value and quality. Chicken that goes into the retail network is obtained from broiler chickens grown in a traditional (intensive) technological way. Organic poultry is extensive. For the experiment in organic farming, we formed the 2 groups (control and experiment). In the experimental group, broiler chickens received a prophylactic preparation - a postbiotic with organic feed, and no drugs were used in the control. In-depth studies of the mechanisms of its effect on the body of chickens and the quality of the products obtained were studied changes in the fatty acid composition of total lipids in skeletal muscle and the biochemical composition of the muscle tissue of chickens. There were no significant changes in the fatty acid content of the tested meat compared with the control group. The content of palmitoleic, linoleic and caprylic acids is slightly increased. The fat content of heavy broiler chickens is much higher than that of broiler chickens. The best fatty acid ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 is found in organic chicken meat. Retail chicken meat has a lower omega 6 content, significantly higher than palmitic acid omega 3. Organic chicken meat contains 3-5% less fat compared to retail chicken. In the meat of chickens grown using organic technology, the amount of saturated fatty acids increased significantly by 11.13%, there is a significant decrease in omega-6 fatty acids by 7.57% and an increase in the amount of omega-3 fatty acids by 0.8% compared to with chicken from the retail chain. Therefore, the value of organic chicken meat lies not only in the absence of residues of antibiotic substances, pesticides and herbicides, but also in its biological value and dietary properties.
