Abstract

Two fats, soya-bean oil and tallow, were blended in the ratios 70: 30, 50: 50 and 30: 70. The ratios of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids (U/S) of the blends were 3·18, 2·08 and 1·49 respectively; values for soya-bean oil and tallow were 6·69 and 0·93. These five fat sources were each included into a basal diet at levels of 40, 80 and 120 g/kg. The digestible (DE) and metabolizable (ME) energy together with the apparent fat digestibility (AFD) of the experimental diets were measured in a metabolism trial based upon four 4 × 4 Latin squares using 16 gilts of 30 kg initial live weight. Linear equations relating dietary DE and ME values to level of inclusion of fat were extrapolated to 1000 g/kg to obtain values for the fats. DE values for soya-bean oil and tallow were 38·06 and 34·16 MJ/kg respectively. Corresponding data for ME were 35·63 and 32·53 respectively. These figures were used to calculate values of the mixtures. Data thus derived did not differ significantly from those determined directly, indicating that there was no synergism between the two fats. DE values of fats determined as the product of AFD of fats and their gross energy followed similar trends. The majority of the increase in values of fats was associated with a change in the U/S ratio from 0·93 to 2·08.
