Whole-body β-oxidation of 18:2ω6 and 18:3ω3 in the pig varies markedly with weaning strategy and dietary 18:3ω3

Segregated early weaning (SEW) into a cleaner nursery increases food intake and growth in pigs, presumably because of reduced immune stimulation compared with conventionally reared, nonsegregated pigs (NSW). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the oxidation of linoleic acid (18:2ω6) and α-l...
