I have access to pastured chicken (the real free range, although chickens don't survive on grass alone). Does anyone know what this means, regarding the fatty acid content of the chicken?

Mittir said:Someone asked RP similar question in a recent KMUD interview about egg yolk.
I believe same thing is applicable to chicken fat. He said that the egg yolk has less PUFA
when chickens are fed whey and sugary fruits. IIRC In another interview he mentioned that
grass/leaves has good amount of PUFA. So, grass fed non-ruminant animal's fat can have considerable
amount of PUFA. I think It is best to avoid chicken fat. You can also do some google search on
fatty acid profiles of different animals on various diets. I remember seeing those type of studies.
PUFA content of animal also depends on surrounding temperature. He mentioned how fish
in amazon has very saturated fat due to high temperature.
RP has mentioned that some type bacteria in ruminant gut converts PUFA to saturated fatlvysaur said:So how would ruminant meat have fewer PUFA from grass feeding? I know they have bacteria that digest cellulose for them, but I don't see how they'd have a lighter PUFA load from eating the same stuff.
