Segregated early weaning (SEW) into a cleaner nursery increases food intake and growth in pigs, presumably because of reduced immune stimulation compared to conventionally reared, non-segregated pigs (NSW). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the oxidation of linoleic acid (18:2w6) and a-linolenic acid (18:3w3) in SEW and NSW pigs. Pigs consumed a control or high 18:3w3 diet (w6 PUFA/w3 PUFA; 21.3 versus 2.5, respectively) and were weaned at either 14 d old into a SEW nursery or at 21 d old into a conventional NSW nursery. The major acute phase protein of pigs but not haptoglobin increased in 35 d old NSW pigs. Between 35 and 49 d old NSW pigs had 15-25% lower carcass 18:2w6 and 20-30% lower carcass 18:3w3 (% composition) at 49 d old. NSW pigs had a higher whole body oxidation of 18:2w6 (40-120%) and 18:3w3 (30-80%). The high 18:3w3 diet decreased the whole body oxidation of 18:2w6 by 73% and of 18:3w3 by 63% in NSW pigs. We conclude that moderately cleaner housing (SEW) significantly decreases 18:2w6 and 18:3w3 oxidation in pigs.
