Abstract Lambs trained to drink liquid supplements containing various levels of sunflower oil showed increased incorporation of linoleic acid into the aortic phospholipids with associated decreases in the percentage of C18:3ω3, C20:3ω9, C20:5ω3 and the C22ω3 fatty acids, while there was no significant change in the percentage of C20: 4ω6 fatty acid. The levels of cholesterol, total phospholipid and phospholipid fractions, did not vary significantly with increasing oil intake.
