Fifty mainly crossbred growing pigs were fed diets composed of a basal feed (2% fat) and supplemented 30% gross energy in the form of butter oil, cream, low erucic acid rapeseed oil (LEAR), sunflower oil or partially hydrogenated sunflower oil for 88 days in order to evaluate the effects of different food fats on their serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The levels of serum total cholesterol in the animals fed butter oil (3.47 mmol/l) and cream (3.48 mmol/l) were significantly (p
