Abstract

In the present study, fatty acid profile of subcutaneous adipose tissue of indigenous and crossbred pigs were evaluated. Saturated fatty acid content was substantially high across genetic groups. Among the saturated fatty acids, palmitic acid was higher followed by stearic acid. Among the unsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid was highest followed by linoleic acid, palmitoleic acid and linolenic acid. Poly- unsaturated fatty acids constituted more than quarter of the total unsaturated fatty acids. All the 3 genetic groups which are predominantly used for pork production in north east India, had a low content of essential fatty acid (CLA).
