Abstract

1. Groups of lambs were killed immediately after birth; others were reared on a diet of cow's milk and were killed at 10, 20 and 30 d after birth. The concentrations of 18: 2ω6 (linoleic acid) were determined in cow's milk and the concentrations of 18:2ω6, 20:4ω6 (arachidonic acid) and 20: 3ω9 (Δ5, 8, 11 eicosatrienoic acid) were determined in the whole carcasses of the lambs.
