The most abundant fatty acid in both EESM and
DDGS was C18:2n-6, which composed more than 50% of
the total fatty acids (Table 5). The total PUFA content
of EESM and DDGS was 62.4 and 54.8%, respectively.
There were 4.2 and 3.14 times more PUFA than SFA in
EESM and DDGS, respectively. In contrast, CWG contained
mainly C18:1 cis-9, C16:0, C18:0, and C18:2n-6.
Total SFA and MUFA content of CWG was 43 and
41%, respectively. Calculated IV values for EESM and
DDGS were 134 and 129 g/100 g, respectively, which
are about double the IV of CWG (62 g/100 g).
Analyzed dietary IVP was generally less than calculated
values (Tables 1, 2, and 3). Averaging the 3
phases, the calculated and analyzed IVP of the diets
were 36.0 and 36.0 for the low; 48.9 and 47.5 for the
medium; and 56.9 and 54.0 for the high concentrations,
respectively
