| Popis: | 1. 1. Japanese quail were fed 0, 2 or 4% linoleic acid diets from time of hatching and were acclimated to 10, 23 or 42°C. 2. 2. Myristic, palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, eicosatrienoic and arachidonic constituted more than 95 per cent of fatty acids identified in the carcasses. 3. 3. The ratio of saturated (anoic) to unsaturated (enoic) fatty acids (A/E) was demonstrated for the first time in an avian species to vary in relation to acclimation temperature. 4. 4. The level of unsaturation varied inversely with acclimation temperature. 5. 5. The data indicate that linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid for growth in this species. |
