All data are reported as least square means the percentage of total fatty acids. Different letters in the same row indicate significant differences. SEM: pooled standard error of the mean; ns: not significant. CLA = Conjugated Linoleic Acids; SFA = Saturated Fatty Acids; MUFA = Monounsaturated Fatty Acids; PUFA = Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids; DI = Desaturation Index.
