Definitions
- Essential fatty acids cannot be manufactured by animals including humans and , are required in human nutrition.
- omega-3 fatty acids are found naturally in the oil of cold-water fish, such as mackerel, salmon, sardines, anchovies and tuna, or as extracted oil from plants, such as flaxseed, canola (rapeseed), or soybean.
- omega-3 fatty acids include docasahexaenioc acid (DHA), eicosapentenoic acid (EPA) and alpha linolenic acid.
- Omega-6 fatty acids are found in both animal and plant material.
- Plant sources include unprocessed, unheated vegetable oils such as corn, sunflower seed, safflower, soy, sesame, and cottonseed oils. They are also found in plant materials such as evening primrose, black current seeds and gooseberry oils as well as in raw nuts and seeds, legumes and leafy greens.
- Omega-6 fatty acids include Iinoleic acid and its derivatives, such as arachidonic acid (AA).
- AA arachidonic acid
- conjugated fatty acids such as conjugated linolenic acid (CLA).
- Omega-3 fatty acids are linked to a wide variety of beneficial health effects in documented intervention studies as essential constituents of cells, especially brain cells, nerve cells, retina, adrenal glands, and reproductive cells.
- a ruminant is an animal which possesses a complex stomach consisting of four morphologically distinct compartments. These compartments are rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. The former two are derived from the terminal portion of the esophagus, and only the latter two are considered to be a genuine stomach. After passing through the first two compartments, the food is returned to the mouth.
- a ruminant only receives the benefit of a portion of the nutrients fed to it and loses a portion for the support and formation of rumen microorganisms. While the nutrients contained in feed clearly contribute to the ruminant's sustenance, another source of nutrition for ruminants is the protein derived from those microorganisms in the rumen which are passed to the lower stomachs. Accordingly, it is important to maintain the microorganism population in the rumen in order to provide a constant source of this protein.
- Prior art feed formulas have a number of deficiencies on a practical basis.
- fish meal/feather meal feed supplements are very unpalatable and can be a feeding deterrent to livestock such as cows, and only limited amounts of DHA can be achieved in the milk.
- animal by-products i.e., blood meal/feather meal
- beneficial compounds such as omega 3 fatty acids in meat or livestock by-products (milk, and milk processed products such as cheese, cream and the like)
- this may be due to stomach physiology of livestock animals.
- the rumen in dairy cows breaks down long chain polyunsaturates eg.
