The effects of supplementing ad libitum olive pomace on serum fatty acid composition in Spanish goats

An abstract of a study by Urso et al determining if olive pomace could be supplemented at a level that increases the C18:1 concentration in blood is presented. No significant difference in C16:0 concentration indicates that although saturation occurs with the 18-carbon fatty acids, the loss of carbo...

Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Urso et al determining if olive pomace could be supplemented at a level that increases the C18:1 concentration in blood is presented. No significant difference in C16:0 concentration indicates that although saturation occurs with the 18-carbon fatty acids, the loss of carbons is not as prevalent. If C18:1 is deposited in the muscle tissue as a result of increased concentration in the blood, then feeding olive pomace can be a healthy alternative to high starch ingredients such as corn and barley.
