Extract

It is well recognised that fats and oils utilised in diets for pigs are variable commodities in terms of their dietary energy value. One of the major factors determining this is the degree of saturation. Thus vegetable oils, being unsaturated, are of higher digestible energy (DE) than the more saturated fats of animal origin. This generalisation, however, has not been adequately quantified which was the objective of the current study.
