shows improved growth aspects not exhibited by feed compositions comprising conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) alone. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the improved growth aspects are measured by an increase in the average daily weight gain (ADG), improvement in feed conversion, reduced health issues, reduced mortality, or combinations thereof. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the average daily intake of the at least one conjugated linoleic acid ranges from about 1.0 g/day to about 10.0 g/day for the non-human animal. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the average daily intake of the at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acid ranges from about 0.1 g/day to about 1.0 g/day for the non-human animal. ###

(depends on 28) The method of claim 28, wherein the controlled iodine value is measured by a decrease in the carcass iodine value, increasing saturated fatty acids, reducing mono- and polyunsaturated acid in the fat, decreasing delta-9 desaturase activity, reduction in carcass unsaturated fat content, increased melting point of the carcass, improved carcass hardness, jowl firmness, backfat firmness, stick to belly fat, or combinations thereof. ### Claim 31 (depends on 28) The method of claim 28, wherein the average daily intake of the at least one conjugated linoleic acid ranges from
