Abstract

The fatty acid profile of pork can be easily manipulated via the diet of the pig. The most common aim is to increase the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, in particular omega 3 fatty acids.

The aim of the current experiment was to investigate the effect of terminal sires of different breed commonly used in Northern Ireland on the fatty acid profile of pork.
