Abstract

Nowadays, n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) is mostly excessive, but n-3 PUFA is serious lack in the human diet. There is an increasing interest in the balance of dietary n-6/n-3 PUFA ratio, because it is important for health and product quality of livestock and poultry. This paper reviewed the nutritional and physiological functions of the balance of dietary n-6/n-3 PUFA ratio, the impacts on health and product quality of livestock and poultry and the methods of how to obtain appropriate n-6/n-3 PUFA ratio in livestock and poultry products.
