Nutritional significance and health benefits of omega-3,-6 and-9 fatty acids in animals

The balance between omega-3 (omega-3), omega-6 (omega-6) and omega-9 (omega-9) fatty acids (FAs) is very important because these types of oils constitute essential components for the formation of the cell membrane, also they are precursors for a large number of substances in the body. One of the most important strategies for improving the increment of polyunsaturated FAs in poultry and animal meat is the dietary administration of these FAs. Additionally, the different sources of omega-3 or 6 in the diet improve the performance, public health and physiological aspects including anti-oxidative properties and immunity. omega-3 FAs have anti-inflammatory characteristics due to their ability to reduce cytokines liberation. High-level of omega-6 FAs is always associated with an increased incidence of dangerous disorders like depression and heart disease. These FAs showed a tremendous series of beneficial impacts like improved cholesterol levels and a decreased occurrence of coronary heart diseases. This article includes some information on the use of omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 FAs in animal and human diets. These oils are vital for the physiological and health aspects, and the information mentioned here will improve our understanding of the functions and roles of these FAs in the body.

Automated summary

The balance between omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids is crucial for the formation of cell membranes and various biological processes. Dietary administration of these fatty acids can improve the quality of poultry and animal meat. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory effects and can improve oxidative properties and immunity. High levels of omega-6 fatty acids are linked to disorders such as depression and heart disease, while omega-3 fatty acids have positive impacts on cholesterol levels and reduce the occurrence of coronary heart disease.
