Abstract
Fish feeds that contain omega-3 fatty acids derived from modified oilseed plants such as Brassica and others, in some cases in place of or in addition to omega-3 fatty acids derived from marine oil.
Claims6
A fish feed from a set of ingredients comprising 20-40% by weight of an oil component based on total weight of the fish feed,
- the oil component having an oil component fatty acid composition comprising a genetically modified Brassica oilseed crop plant oil component,
- wherein
- 5-8% (w/w) of the oil component fatty acid composition based on total weight of the oil component fatty acid composition comprises a combination of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and DPA (docosapentaenoic acid) wherein the EPA, DHA, and DPA present in the fish feed are from the genetically modified Brassica oilseed crop plant oil component;
- wherein the genetically modified Brassica oilseed crop plant oil component is 35-45% (w/w) of the oil component fatty acid composition;
- wherein the genetically modified Brassica oilseed crop plant oil component comprises:
- a stearic acid (C18:0) content of 2.46% (w/w) to 2.7% (w/w);
- an oleic acid (C18:1) content of 26.697% (w/w) to 31.1% (w/w);
- a vaccenic acid (C18:1) content of 3.2% (w/w) to 3.8% (w/w);
- an arachidic acid (C20:0) content of 0.5% (w/w) to 0.7% (w/w);
- an EPA (C20:5) content of 5.8% (w/w) to 12% (w/w);
- a DHA (C22:6) content of 0.7% (w/w) to 1.5% (w/w);
- and
- a DPA (C22:5) content of 3.1% (w/w) to 5.5% (w/w);
- and
- wherein the content of fatty acids detected in any oil sample is determined via gas-liquid chromatography.
