The abstract for a study testing the effect of altering the ω6:ω3 in sows with large litters on fat mobilization, and therefore nutrients available for piglets. The 1:1 sows had higher baseline plasma NEFA, and 10:1 sows had lower net increment area for glucose, and higher niAUC, NEFA, and glycerol when injected with epinephrine. This shows the 1:1 sows were mobilizing more fat to provide nutrients, which may have a negative impact on their later health.
