A premix for hog feed and a method of feeding a hog that produces DHA and EPA enriched pork while avoiding or reducing negative effects to the taste, colour, texture, aroma, pH and shelf life which are significant enough to make the pork unacceptable to consumers. One embodiment of the method of feeding a hog involves feeding a hog over several days with a hog feed supplemented with the premix. The premix includes marine-sourced docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and plant-sourced alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). The hogs are fed until their total DHA, EPA and ALA intakes are in a certain range per kilogram of the hog's weight. The hogs are then slaughtered and processed into pork products. This results in pork with an enrichment of omega-3 EFAs in the range of about 2.5% to about 4.5% of fat.
Divulgation d'un prémélange pour nourriture pour cochons et d'une méthode d'alimentation de cochons qui produit du porc enrichi en ADH et en AEP, tout en évitant ou en réduisant les effets négatifs sur le goût, la couleur, la texture, l'arôme, le pH et la durée de vie qui seraient suffisants pour rendre ce porc inacceptable à la consommation. Une réalisation de la présente méthode d'alimentation de cochons consiste à nourrir un cochon pendant plusieurs jours avec une ration alimentaire complétée par le prémélange. Le prémélange comprend de l'acide docohexaénoïque (ADH) et de l'acide eicopentaénoïque (AEP) d'origine marine et de l'acide alpha-linolénique (AAL) d'origine végétale. Les cochons sont nourris jusqu'à ce que leur absorption totale d'ADH, d'AEP et d'AAL soit dans une certaine gamme par kilogramme de masse corporelle du cochon. Les cochons sont ensuite abattus et découpés. Ceci conduit à du porc enrichi en AGE oméga-3 dans la gamme d'environ 2,5 à environ 4,5 % du gras.
