Oils and Oleins of Plant Origin

Article of the FEDNA Foundation about oils and oleins of plant origin, which explains what they are, why they are used in animal feed and what their virtues and characteristics are, nutritional values, fatty acid profiles, metabolic energies and recommended percentage of inclusion in feed.

Use of Fats and Lipid Byproducts in Monogastric Animals

Article in the defunct magazine EDIPORC about the lipid products (oleins, fats and oils) that our company manufactures for animal feeding of monogastric animals. Contains tables with the saturation index of each type of fat and olein and its application to animals according to said index.

Peni Degree Fat Saturation (GPS)

Comparative bar table of the degree of peni saturation of the main oils, fats and oleins. This grade measures the "hardness or softness of the fat." The higher the index, the more unsaturated the fat will be, and therefore the "softer" the carcass, while the lower the gps, the "harder" the fat will be in the muscular carcass.

Vegetable Fat Sources as an Alternative to Animal Fats

Article from 3tres3 magazine about vegetable fats and oleins as a source of energy and alternative to animal fats in pig nutrition.

Percentage Composition of Lipids Used in Pork for Hams

Comparative table by composition of fatty acids and average melting point resulting from the lipids that are most frequently used in pork destined for recebo serrano hams.

RIOSA percentage composition of lipids destined for hams

Characteristics of Various Pork Fats and Oils

Comparative table of the main parameters of the lipids that are most frequently used in both white and Iberian pigs.

Comparison of the Various Lipids Related to Pata Negra Ham

Comparison according to the degree of monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids of the various types of fat common in the diet of Iberian pigs for pata negra hams.

Use of Acid Oils in the Feed of Monogastric Animals

Presentation by the Dr. Ana Barroeta of the Department of Animal and Food Science of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Autonomous University of Barcelona in the technical days of “Quality, characterization and use of acid oils for animal feed” on the use of oleins in monogastric animals, and its comparison with other fats such as lard and soybean oil, in the results of metabolic energy and absorption of the product in each part of the digestive system.
