Abstract
Yellow fat in the mink may be the result of feeding relatively high amounts of trienoic acid, which is present in horse fat to the extent of 16%. The feeding of 3% linolenic acid as raw linseed oil produced yellow fat in mink. α-Tocopherol seems to exert a protective action under our experimental conditions.Keywords
