Vitamin E concentration in adipose tissue averaged 143% more
(P < 0.05) for pigs fed natural vitamin E 40 (8.48 lg/g) compared
with pigs fed natural vitamin E 10 (3.49 lg/g) (Table 3). Vitamin
E concentration in adipose tissue also averaged 36% more
(P < 0.05) for natural vitamin E 40 (8.48 lg/g) than it did for natural
vitamin E 70 (6.24 lg). Concentrations for natural vitamin E 40,
natural vitamin E 100, natural vitamin E 200, and synthetic 200
were similar (P > 0.05).
Vitamin E concentration of loin samples averaged 42% more
(P < 0.05) for natural vitamin E 40 (2.40 lg) than it did for natural
vitamin E 10 (1.69 lg). Vitamin E concentration of loin samples
averaged 25% more (P < 0.05) for natural vitamin E 100 (2.99 lg)
than it did for natural vitamin E 40 (2.40 lg). Vitamin E concentration of loin samples averaged 21% more (P < 0.05) for natural vitamin E 200 (3.61 lg) than it did for natural vitamin E 100 (2.99 lg).
Vitamin E concentration for treatment group natural vitamin E 10
was less than all other treatment groups (P < 0.05). Concentrations
for natural vitamin E 40 and natural vitamin E 70 were similar.
Vitamin E concentrations for natural vitamin E 70, natural vitamin
E 100, and synthetic vitamin E 200 were also similar. Vitamin E
concentration for natural vitamin E 200 was higher than all other
treatment groups. Lauridsen et al. (2002) demonstrated a 2:1
