Enrichment of canine gestation and lactation diets with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids to support neurologic development /

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are essential for proper neural and retinal development in many mammalian species. One objective of this research was to investigate the effects of dietary [alpha]-linolenic acid (ALA) and LCPUFA on the fatty acid composition of canine plasma phosphol...
