Notes:
The fatty acid composition of the total lipid of eggs produced by hens on a control diet agreed closely with the compositions reported by other workers. The neutral glyceride fraction was more unsaturated than the phospholipid fraction. Addition of 10% of linseed, cottonseed or coconut oil to the diet altered the fatty acid composition of the egg lipids. Neither linseed nor cottonseed oil affected the total lipid content of the yolk, but coconut oil feeding brought about a small increase. In general, the acids of the neutral glyceride fraction were more susceptible to dietary manipulation than those of the phospholipid fraction. The effects of dietary fat on yolk lipid composition were compared for two types of bird.
