Fatty acid turnover in the domestic pig was estimated by measuring the half‐life of linolenic acid depletion in adipose tissue depots which had been made abnormally high in linolenic acid by feeding large quantities of linseed oil. The measured half‐life of linolenate in 8‐ to 12‐month‐old pigs was 300 days. The apparent half‐life of linolenate in muscle lipids was less than that of subcutaneous backfat.
