Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) decrease the body fat content of rodents; the aim of this study was to determine whether dietary CLA altered carcass composition of pigs. Female Large White x Landrace pigs (n = 66) were used in this study. To obtain initial body composition, six pigs were slaughtered at 57 kg live weight, whereas the remaining pigs were allocated to one of six dietary treatments (0, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 g/kg CLA, containing 55% of CLA isomers). The diets, containing 14.3 MJ digestible energy (DE) and 9.3 g available lysine per kg, were fed ad libitum for 8 wk. Dietary CLA had no significant effect on average daily gain (861 vs. 911 g/d for pigs fed diets with and without CLA, P = 0.15) or feed intake (2.83 vs. 2.80 kg/d, P = 0.74). The gain to feed ratio was increased by dietary CLA by 6.3% (0.328 vs. 0.348, P = 0.009). Fat deposition decreased linearly (-8.2 ± 2.09 g/d for each gram per kilogram increase in CLA concentration; P < 0.001) with increasing inclusion of CLA. At the highest level of CLA inclusion, fat deposition was decreased by 88 g/d (-31%). Similarly, the ratio of fat to lean tissue deposition decreased linearly (-0.093 ± 0.0216 for each gram per kilogram increase in CLA concentration; P < 0.001) with increasing dietary CLA. The carcass lean tissue deposition response to dietary CLA was quadratic in nature and was maximized (+25%) at 5.0 g/kg dietary CLA. Overall, dietary CLA increased the gain to feed ratio and lean tissue deposition and decreased fat deposition in finisher pigs.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a collective term describing a mixture of positional and geometric conjugated diene isomers of linoleic acid. Scientists at the University of Wisconsin demonstrated that a lipid fraction isolated from cooked ground beef had anticarcinogenic activity (Ha et al. 1987Citation ); since that time, the anticarcinogenic activity of CLA has been demonstrated in a wide range of animal models (Banni and Martin 1998Citation , Belury 1995Citation ). The interest in CLA has grown because it possesses several additional biological properties that relate to health. Dietary CLA supplementation reduced the catabolic effects of immune stimulation in mice, rats and chickens without adversely affecting immune function (Miller et al. 1994Citation ). Furthermore, CLA is antiatherogenic in hamsters (Nicolosi et al. 1997Citation ) and antidiabetic in the Zucker diabetic fatty acid fa/fa rat (Houseknecht et al. 1998Citation ).

One of the biological effects of CLA relates to fat accretion and nutrient partitioning. CLA has been shown to increase live weight gain, to improve feed efficiency in rats, mice and chickens (Chin et al. 1994Citation , Park et al. 1997Citation ) and to decrease carcass fat content in mice (West et al. 1998Citation ). Recent results suggest that similar effects occur in pigs because dietary CLA supplementation reduced back fat thickness (Thiel et al. 1998Citation ) and the fat content of commercial meat cuts (Dugan et al. 1997Citation ). However, effects of CLA on carcass composition and tissue deposition rates in pigs have not been reported. Therefore, our objective was to examine the effect of dietary supplementation of CLA on carcass composition and rates of accretion of fat, protein, water and ash. We used a commercial source of CLA and supplemented the diet of growing pigs with a range of doses up to 5.5 mg CLA isomers/kg of diet.

Animals and handling.

All procedures involving animals were approved by the Victorian Institute of Animal Science Animal Ethics Committee. Female cross-bred (Large White x Landrace) pigs (n = 66; initial weight, 56.6 kg) were used. To obtain initial body composition, six pigs were slaughtered at 57 kg live weight. The remaining 60 pigs were randomly allocated to one of six dietary treatments [0, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 mg of CLA-55/kg diet (Natural Lipids, Hovdebygda, Norway)]. This CLA, containing 55% CLA isomers, was prepared from sunflower oil. Thus, the CLA concentrations for the six diets were 0, 0.7, 1.4, 2.75, 4.1 and 5.5 g/kg diet, respectively. To ensure a homogenous mixture, CLA was mixed into soybean oil before being added to the basal diet. Diets were mixed every 2 wk, and the remaining CLA was stored at 4°C to minimize oxidation. The diets (Table 1Citation ) were formulated to be in excess of protein and lysine requirements for this class of pigs (Dunshea et al. 1993aCitation ). In addition, the experimental diets were formulated to contain amino acids relative to lysine in excess of the amino acid balance proposed as ideal by the Standing Committee on Agriculture (1987)Citation . Fresh diet was provided daily to each pig and the amount was recorded.

The study was conducted in two replicates of 30 pigs with five blocks of six pigs (one of each treatment) within each replicate. Pigs were moved from group pens into individual pens at 48 kg live weight and fed 2.0 kg/d of a grower ration. Pigs were weighed frequently; as a block of 6 pigs of similar live weight and P2 back fat thickness (6.5 cm from midline over the last rib) reached 56.0 kg, they began the study. Throughout the study, pigs were kept in individual pens; they had free access to water from nipple drinkers and their respective diet at all times. Pigs were weighed and ultrasonic back fat thickness at the P2 region was determined weekly.

Pigs were fed their diets for 8 wk before being transported 0.5 km to a pilot abattoir. After CO2 stunning, pigs were exsanguinated, hair removed and bodies eviscerated. Internal organs were weighed and the gastrointestinal tract emptied and reweighed. Internal organs and empty gastrointestinal tract were then frozen at -20°C. The eviscerated carcasses were hung overnight at 4°C before being split in half. The right side of each carcass and the empty viscera were prepared for separate proximate analyses (Campbell et al. 1985Citation ). Dry matter was determined in triplicate by drying samples to constant weight in a force-draft oven at 105°C. Ash was determined by burning the oven-dried samples in a muffle furnace at 600°C. Protein was determined by Kjeldahl analysis (AOAC 1984Citation ), and fat was determined after chloroform:methanol extraction (Folch et al. 1957Citation ). The left side of the carcass was used for determination of meat quality and carcass measurements (to be presented elsewhere).

Analyses of CLA isomers.

Fatty acid methyl esters were prepared by adding 100 µL of CLA-55 to 1 mL of 20% methanol benzene and reacted with trimethylsilyldiazomethane (Hashimoto et al. 1981Citation ). Samples were then analyzed by HPLC (Sehat et al. 1998Citation ).

Statistical analyses.

Data were analyzed by an ANOVA suitable for a dose response, with linear and quadratic effects determined. The model included block, replicate and CLA dose. In addition, comparisons were made between diets containing either none or added CLA. For these analyses, the model included block, replicate and CLA dose. All analyses were performed using GENSTAT (Payne et al. 1993Citation ).

The CLA isomers contained in the commercial preparation of CLA are as listed in Table 2Citation . The major CLA isomers were cis-11 trans-13 (18%), cis-10 trans-12 (30%), cis-9 trans-11 (25%) and cis-8 trans-10 (14%). There were traces of seven other isomers.

Appropriate blocking ensured that there was no difference in live weight (56.6 kg, P = 0.76) or P2 back fat thickness (11.4 mm, P = 0.20) among the different dietary CLA groups at the start of the study. Dietary CLA had no significant effect on average daily gain or feed intake throughout the study (Table 3Citation ). However, the gain to feed ratio was increased by dietary CLA, with the responses being most pronounced over the first 4 wk of the treatment. During the first 4 wk of the study, there was a linear (0.00165 ± 0.00087 g/g for each gram per kilogram increase in CLA concentration; P = 0.04) increase in the gain to feed ratio with increasing dose of CLA, whereas there was no effect of CLA over the period between 4 and 8 wk. Overall, including CLA in the diet increased the gain to feed ratio by 6.3%. Dietary CLA had no effect on live weight at any stage of the study. On the other hand, there was a dose-dependent decrease in P2 back fat thickness that became evident after 3 wk of feeding diets containing CLA (Fig. 1Citation ).

Carcass water composition increased linearly (P < 0.001) with increasing dietary CLA supplementation (Table 4Citation ). Although there was a significant linear increase (P = 0.02) with increasing CLA, there was no overall significant (P = 0.14) difference in carcass protein content among the different dietary CLA supplements. Carcass lean tissue (sum of water and protein) increased linearly (P < 0.001) with increasing dietary CLA supplementation, with a commensurate decrease (P < 0.001) in carcass fat content. At the highest level of CLA inclusion, carcass fat content was decreased by ~60 g/kg (-20%). As a consequence, the ratio of fat to lean in the carcass was decreased in pigs fed all but the lowest level of supplemental CLA (Fig. 2Citation ). The ratio of fat to protein in the carcass decreased linearly (-0.093 ± 0.0216 g/g for each gram per kilogram increase in CLA concentration; P < 0.001) with increasing dietary CLA. Although there were no significant differences among the different dietary CLA groups in the ratio of water to protein in the carcass when data from all CLA groups were pooled, there was a significant increase (+5%, P = 0.03) in the ratio of water to protein in the carcass. There was no significant effect of dietary CLA supplementation on carcass ash content.

Carcass water deposition increased with increasing dietary CLA, reaching a maximum at a dietary CLA supplementation of 5.0 g/kg diet before decreasing, as indicated by the significant quadratic response (Table 5Citation , P < 0.002). The carcass protein deposition response to dietary CLA was also quadratic (P = 0.01) in nature, with protein deposition also maximized at a dietary CLA supplementation of 5.0 g/kg. The carcass lean tissue deposition response to dietary CLA was also quadratic (P = 0.001) in nature with lean tissue deposition maximized at a dietary CLA supplementation of 5.0 g/kg. Carcass fat deposition decreased linearly with increasing CLA supplementation rates. As a consequence, the ratio of fat to lean deposition in the carcass was decreased in pigs fed all but the lowest level of supplemental CLA (Fig. 2)Citation . The ratio of fat to protein deposition in the carcass decreased linearly (P < 0.001) with increasing dietary supplementation of CLA. Although there were no significant differences among the different dietary CLA groups in the ratio of water to protein deposition in the carcass when data from all CLA groups were pooled, there was a significant increase (+11%, P = 0.024) in the ratio of water to protein deposited in the carcass. There was no significant effect of dietary CLA on carcass ash deposition.

Although there was no significant increase in growth rate (+6%, P = 0.15) with increased dietary CLA, the increase of a similar magnitude in the gain to feed ratio (+6.4%, P = 0.009) was significant. The increases in the gain to feed ratio were most pronounced during the first 4 wk of the treatment interval in which the gain to feed ratio increased 7.7% (P = 0.001). The increase in the gain to feed ratio was a combination of the small but nonsignificant changes in both growth rate and feed intake. Other workers have also observed similar small improvements in the gain to feed ratio in pigs supplemented with dietary CLA (Dugan et al. 1997Citation , Thiel et al. 1998Citation ), although some failed to observe any improvement (O'Quinn et al. 1998Citation ). The earlier work demonstrated that the gain to feed ratio was increased by 5% in rats fed CLA supplement of up to 5 g/kg of diet (Chin et al. 1994Citation ).

Our study is the first to demonstrate the effect of CLA supplements on carcass composition and tissue deposition in growing pigs. Proximate analysis indicated that CLA reduced carcass fat in a linear manner over the CLA dose range (Table 4)Citation . At the highest level of CLA supplementation (10 g/kg diet), carcass content of fat was reduced by ~61 g/kg and carcass fat deposition was reduced by 31% (86 g/d) (Table 5)Citation . Earlier studies had indicated that dietary CLA supplementation of growing pigs resulted in less fat at slaughter as estimated by dissection of wholesale loin cuts (Dugan et al. 1997Citation ) or back fat thickness (Thiel et al. 1998Citation ). In this investigation, we also obtained serial measures of back fat thickness by ultrasound throughout the study. Increases in back fat occurred across the 8-wk treatment period for all groups, but the magnitude of the increase was reduced in a linear manner with increasing dietary level of CLA supplementation (Fig. 1)Citation . Although the numerical differences progressively increased across the 8-wk treatment period, they were not significant until wk 3 of treatment. At the highest level of CLA supplementation, P2 back fat depth was reduced by 25% (6 mm) at wk 8. It is interesting that despite substantial reductions in carcass fat, the increase in protein was relatively small (+5%). However, lean tissue (as defined as the sum of water and protein) was increased commensurate with the reduction in carcass fat (because ash was unchanged). Although the fat deposition responses to CLA feeding were linear across the range of levels used, the lean tissue response was quadratic, with the maximum rate of lean tissue deposition occurring at a CLA level of 5.0 g/kg.

The mechanism by which CLA causes reduced body fat accretion is not known. Effects could involve de novo lipogenesis, use of preformed fatty acids for lipid synthesis, rates of lipolysis or some combination of these. In this study, pigs were fed a high carbohydrate diet; thus, de novo lipogenesis would represent the major mechanism of lipid synthesis, and it would appear that CLA was acting to reduce these rates. Other studies with growing animals (Chin et al. 1994Citation , Park et al. 1997Citation , 1999aCitation and 1999bCitation , West et al. 1998Citation ) have not had a zero time group to allow for comparisons of rates of fat accretion over the treatment period. However, West et al. (1998)Citation recently reported that the carcass fat content at the end of the study was less in CLA-treated mice fed either a high carbohydrate or a high fat diet. Thus, rates of de novo synthesis and use of preformed fatty acids might both be reduced by CLA. However, in all of the above cases, it is possible that the effects of CLA could be on lipolysis, for which rates of mobilization would have to be increased sufficiently to result in a net reduction in lipid accretion. In investigations with lactating cows, it was demonstrated that the major effect of CLA is to reduce milk fatty acids arising from de novo synthesis (Chouinard et al. 1999Citation ). In addition, the cis-8, trans-12 CLA isomer decreases lipoprotein lipase activity and triglyceride accumulation while increasing glycerol release in cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes. These data suggest changes in both lipid synthesis and breakdown. Recent data from our laboratory show that plasma triglyceride and nonesterified fatty acid concentrations are increased during CLA feeding in pigs (E. Ostrowska, unpublished observations), suggesting alterations in both the uptake of preformed fatty acids and fat breakdown. Obviously, defining the mechanism of CLA requires a more definitive understanding of the specific dimensions of lipid metabolism that are responding to CLA treatment.

It is obvious that dietary CLA can dramatically change the chemical composition of the carcass. What is intriguing though is that these favorable alterations in body composition were not associated with the expected magnitude of improvement in the gain to feed ratio. From a carcass gain perspective, the deposition of protein is more efficient than fat because every gram of protein is associated with ~3 g of water, whereas there is very little water associated with fat deposition. Therefore, technologies or feeding strategies that have resulted in similar alterations in the ratio of fat to lean are generally associated with more profound improvements in the gain to feed ratio than those observed with dietary CLA supplementation. For example, dietary supplementation with the ß-agonist ractopamine reduced the ratio of fat:protein by a magnitude similar to that seen with CLA but resulted in a much greater improvements (15%) in the gain to feed ratio (Dunshea et al. 1993bCitation and 1998Citation ). A possible explanation is that dietary CLA supplementation may result in an increase in metabolic rate, although this was not manifest as an increase in visceral organ size in this study (E. Ostrowska, unpublished observations). However, studies with AKR/J mice have indicated that CLA treatment increased metabolic rate (West et al. 1998Citation ).

It is generally considered that the cis-9, trans-11 CLA isomer is responsible for the anticarcinogenic effects of CLA (Ip et al. 1994Citation ). This study, as well as all of the aforementioned studies looking at CLA effects on growth, used a commercial source of CLA that contains a number of isomers. Recently, Park et al. (1999b)Citation showed that the cis-8, trans-12 CLA isomer of CLA was much more potent than the cis-9, trans-11 CLA isomer in reducing the body fat content of mice. Similarly, work in dairy cows indicates that the CLA-induced reduction in milk fat synthesis involves isomers with a trans-10 double bond (Bauman et al. 1998Citation ). Identifying the role of specific CLA isomers should aid in understanding the mechanisms responsible for the diverse biological functions reported for CLA.

In conclusion, dietary CLA supplements increased lean tissue deposition and decreased fat deposition in pigs. Chemical analysis of carcass composition revealed that the rate of lean tissue deposition was maximized at a CLA inclusion level of 5.0 g/kg, whereas the depression in fat deposition was linear up to at least 10 g CLA/kg.
