Feeding Animals Fish Oil Produces Omega-3 Meat!
June 19, 2006 · Category: Science of Fish Oil, Novel Uses of Fish Oil
A report from the British Nutrition Foundation found that feeding fish oil to animals increased the omega-3 content of their meat. This omega-3 content would, in theory, directly benefit any person that consumed it. This would create a natural way to get the essential omega-3 fatty acids that people need without taking fish oil supplements. There is also an Australian study underway to examine the effects on people that eat pork from pigs fed omega-3 fatty acids.
This seems like a much better option than the pigs that were genetically engineered to produce omega-3s!

Hi - we are interested in looking at feeding pigs omega 3 from fish oil and are looking for further info such as feeding rates, levels of deposition, taint etc.
Have you any such info? You make reference to some work in your note
