Nutritional Value Of Flaxseed For Swine and Its Effects On Carcass Fatty Acid Profile

WShannon

November 3, 2020

Western Canada is the worlds largest producer of flaxseed. Flaxseed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Using flaxseed in swine diets could be a low-cost feeding protocol that enriches the carcass with omega-3. It is comparable to canola meal other than its low lysine content and higher DE and NE values. A 50:50 field pea: flaxseed product, LinPro is rich in omega-3 and feeding up to 15% for 8 weeks had no effect on performance. It had the same levels of omega-3 in the backfat as flaxseed oil supplementation.
