1 st WorkshopXIII International Feed Technology SymposiumThe fats contained within the meal are not used in the same manner, <strong>and</strong> different <strong>fatty</strong><strong>acids</strong> have different roles in the body. Some <strong>of</strong> these include: beta oxidation for energycreation, storing in deposits for future integration into phosphor-lipids, which form themain structural components <strong>of</strong> all cell membranes. The scope <strong>of</strong> the integration into cellmembranes depends on the consumed amount. Enriching cell membranes with omega-3can alter the cell signal, the function <strong>of</strong> cell proteins <strong>and</strong> the expression <strong>of</strong> genes.As the human organism doesn’t have a enzyme system which is necessary for thesynthesis <strong>of</strong> omega-3 <strong>fatty</strong> <strong>acids</strong>, they must be taken in via meals (this is why they arecalled “essential <strong>fatty</strong> <strong>acids</strong>”).Modern biotechnologies <strong>of</strong>fer various ways <strong>of</strong> enriching products with omega-3 <strong>acids</strong>.Products <strong>of</strong> animal origin such as milk, meat <strong>and</strong> eggs are enriched with omega-3 <strong>fatty</strong><strong>acids</strong> by introducing these <strong>acids</strong> into the meals <strong>of</strong> the animals which incorporate theminto these products. The increase <strong>of</strong> the omega-3 <strong>fatty</strong> acid content can also be achievedby the application <strong>of</strong> modern biotechnological methods in plant selection <strong>and</strong> cultivatingvarieties which synthesize a larger amount <strong>of</strong> ALA, or <strong>fatty</strong> <strong>acids</strong> which are similar toEPA <strong>and</strong> DHA.SUMMARYThis paper reviews the application <strong>of</strong> modern biotechnologies from the aspect <strong>of</strong> usingcertain animal feed additives with the goal <strong>of</strong> obtaining better production, reproductive<strong>and</strong> health parameters. These additives can be used as animal feed either separately orwithin concentrate mixtures. Some <strong>of</strong> the additives are used on purpose in order toensure their presence in products like milk <strong>and</strong> eggs which enhances their quality forhuman nutrition, which is the final goal <strong>of</strong> modern nutrition experts.The paper considers the effects <strong>of</strong> live yeast cells, certain microelements in gelatin <strong>and</strong>organic forms <strong>and</strong> poly-saturated <strong>fatty</strong> <strong>acids</strong> i.e. omega-3 <strong>and</strong> omega-6 <strong>and</strong> theirsignificance in animal nutrition <strong>and</strong> indirectly in human nutrition as well.LITERATURE1.
