[Supplementation with oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet of pigs in the

An experimental dataset from a study evaluating the effects of pequi and sunflower oil supplementation on 180 piglets in a commercial farm. The data includes measurements of performance, inflammatory response, lipid profile, and oxidative status taken at intervals during the nursery phase. The study was authored by Belise Maria Oliveira Bezerra and is available via Open Access.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the impact of polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on systemic inflammatory response based on total leukocyte and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio measurements.
• Modeling the relationship between vegetable oil supplementation and lipid metabolism based on total cholesterol and triglyceride assessments.
• Investigating the effects of dietary oils on weight gain and feed intake in nursery piglets.
• Studying the influence of natural feed additives on the oxidant-antioxidant balance based on nitric oxide and malondialdehyde measurements.

Strengths

• Data originates from a controlled experiment with 180 piglets distributed across 3 treatment groups.
• The study measured multiple physiological parameters including performance, inflammatory markers, lipid profiles, and oxidative status.
• Statistical significance (P<0.05) is reported for key findings regarding inflammatory response, oxidative balance, and lipid metabolism.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• Data may reflect the specific experimental conditions and farm environment of the single study.
