THE FATTY ACID PROFILE OF SUBCUTANEOUS AND ABDOMINAL FAT IN DAIRY COWS<br />

was significantly higher in SUBC than in ABD <strong>and</strong> NEFA (P < 0.0001). The PUFA level was<br />

higher in NEFA compared with ABD <strong>and</strong> SUBC (P < 0.0001). The ∆9-desaturase indices<br />

for C14 <strong>and</strong> C16 were lowest in ABD <strong>and</strong> highest in SUBC (P < 0.0001). The C18-ratio<br />

was lower in ABD <strong>and</strong> NEFA compared with SUBC (P < 0.0001; Figure 3).<br />
