Summary

The relative concentration of the fatty acid components of the total intramuscular lipids from six muscle locations of pigs at 1·5 to 54 months of age were assessed by gas liquid chromatography. Although the pattern was generally similar at each location, differences between locations in the concentrations of oleic and arachidonic acids in particular were noted.

Differences between animals in the relative concentration of fatty acids (other than linoleic) could not be accounted for by the pattern of dietary intake.
