Research Progress on the Biological Functions and Application of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Livestock and Poultry Production
Polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFAs)are essential fatty acids in human and animal organisms and play an important role in maintaining the structural integrity of cell membranes,lipid metabolism,immune regulation,and other physiological processes.PUFAs are also of great significance in maintaining healthy growth of livestock and poultry.Among these,ω-6 and ω-3 fatty acids have attracted much attention,nonetheless,the intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids in livestock and poultry production is still controversial.This article reviews the sources and classification of PUFAs,their biological functions,and the application of ω-6 and ω-3 PUFAs in feed to improve the production performance,reproductive performance,and semen quality of livestock and poultry,aiming to provide a reference for determining the amount of PUFAs to be added to feedstuffs and their practical application in livestock and poultry production.
