Manipulating the fatty acid
composition including CLA content
of animal products
Professor, Dr. Peter Buttery

Why Manipulate the fatty acid
composition of animal products?
• To reduce the intake of “bad” fatty acids by
the consumer
• To increase the intake of “good” fatty acids
by the consumer
• To increase sales of such products by
improving their “image”

Population average consumption
of long chain n-3 polyunsaturated

• Meat contributes about 22% of total and
saturated fat intake in the human diet
• Lamb has a high stearate content which
gives a waxy texture, producing poor
organoleptic properties
• Red meat, as part of a balanced diet, is an
important source of protein and iron
Possible
Approaches
• Change fatty acid profile of diet
~ low fat diet
~ biohydrogenation of unsaturated fat
• Protected fatty acids
• Manipulation of de novo fat synthesis that
is reduce the fat content of the carcass

THE RUMINANT
• Fats over 10% cause problems with rumen
function
• Unsaturated fats are hydrogenated in the
rumen so difficult to alter the diet.

PROTECT FAT FROM RUMEN
• Coat the fat so that it escapes the action of
the rumen bacteria
• The coat is then broken down in either

SCD ACTIVITY
• There is some evidence that there is genetic
variation
• Some cows seems to produce more CLA in
the diet than others.Polymorphisms in the
SCD gene?
• We have not been able to find much
variation in adipose tissue and liver of sheep

+ primarily cis-9, trans-10 isomer
Could it be used in humans?
• Rats were fed 20% (w/w) butter
• Rats weighed 180g and would probably consume about
10g of food a day (2g) butter
• This is equivalent to 11g butter/kg body weight/day
• Thus a 70kg man would have to consume 770g
butter/day to get the same amount
• More research is needed
• Professor Bauman in the USA working in the area
Manipulating supply of CLA to sheep tissues
• Rumen saturates fatty acids therefore need to protect
CLA supplement (containing equal levels c-9,t-11 and
t-10,c-12) from ruminal degradation to  absorption
in small intestine

How much do we feed?
• Ostrowska et al., (1999)
• Growing pigs fed CLA-55 (mixture of both isomers)
0, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10g CLA/kg diet
• Fat deposition decreased with increasing CLA
• Fat:lean decreased with increasing CLA
• Av 80 kg pig @ highest dose = 0.19 g CLA/kg body
weight/day
How much do we feed?
•
PCLA ~ 66 % effective at bypassing rumen
biohydrogenation
•
High levels lipid adversely affect rumen function
•
Max amount PCLA supplied daily to small intestine
of av. 40 kg lamb calculated = 0.28 kg CLA/kg BW
•
Predicted that lambs would consume 1 kg DM/day
therefore highest PCLA inclusion was 100 g/kg DM
•
25 and 50g/kg DM groups for dose response

• Megalac controls for lipid coating of PCLA
• Fed for 10 wks, control group designed to grow at 180 g/d
Sample analysis
• Fatty acid composition
– Did the CLA get into the animals tissues?
• Carcass characteristics
– Repartitioning effects of CLA?

Conclusion
• Tissue CLA content increased but no effect on
carcass
• Maybe ruminant adipose tissue responds
differently to monogastrics?
Conclusions
• Animal products continue to supply a major
proportion of dietary saturated fatty acids
• SCD plays a major role in determining the nature
of fatty acids synthesized in tissues
• It is possible to increase the concentration of
“healthy” fatty acids (e.g. n-3 PUFA & CLA) in
meat & dairy produce but whether the changes can
be great enough to have a significant impact on
human health remains to be established
