Method for incorporating polyunsaturated fatty acids into milk with improved efficiency. The methods include protecting the polyunsaturated fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, with a protective agent prior to feeding the fatty acids to a milk producing animal. Methods for feeding polyunsaturated fatty acids to milk producing animals by top dressing a polyunsaturated fatty acid supplement on top of animal feed compositions and methods of making and using such compositions are also provided.

Methods of incorporating polyunsaturated fatty acids in milk

The present invention provides a method for raising rabbits, in particular by feeding the rabbit with a feed containing a source of long-chain fatty acid. In this manner, mortality and the feed conversion rates are decreased while average daily weight gain and long-chain fatty acid content of rabbit meat are increased compared to a rabbit raised in the absence of the long-chain fatty acid source.
