Table 3.

Effect on rumenic, alpha-linolenic, and long-chain fatty acid milk concentration in sheep and goats fed a marine lipid sources supplementation. Data are reported as the proportional difference between the supplemented group, at the respective dose, and the non-supplemented control group, with dose 0.
