The effect if supplementing fattening pigs with oils differing in MUFA (monounsaturated fatty acids) and PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids) level addition for fatteners diets on the cholesterol content of Musculus longissimus dorsi was investigated. Summing up, the supplement of PUFA found in three sources of UFA had varied effects on the cholesterol level in longissimus muscle. The cholesterol in meat was significantly reduced when a 3% linseed oil supplement was applied in the finished fattening period. The production of pork with reduced total cholesterol seems to be important in terms of consumer health and cullinary value.
