Oils and Oleins of Vegetal Origin

Article of the FEDNA Foundation on oils and oleins of vegetable origin, which explains what they are, so they are used in animal feed and what are their strengths and their characteristics, nutritional values, fatty acid profiles, metabolic energy and recommended percentage of inclusion in feed.

Use of Lipid Fats and Subproducts in Monogastric Animals

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

Degree of Fat Saturation (GPS)

Comparative bar chart 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, and therefore the more "soft" in the carcass, while the lower the gps the "harder" it is the fat in the muscle channel.

Sources of Vegetable Fat as an Alternative to Animal Fats

Article of the magazine 3tres3 on vegetable fats and oleins as an energy source and alternative to animal fats in pig nutrition.
