Different sources of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC PUFAs) in animal husbandry (adapted from [17]).
| Oil Source | LA (18:2n-6) | ALA (18:3n-3) | EPA (20:5n-3) | DHA (22:6n-3) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| g/kg DM | ||||
| Rapeseed oil | 180 | 90 | - | - |
| Echium oil | 150 | 310 | - | - |
| Soybean oil | 530 | 80 | - | - |

LA = linoleic acid; ALA = alpha-linolenic acid; EPA = eicosapentaenoic acid; DHA = docosahexaenoic acid; g/kg DM = gramm per kilogramm dry matter.
