Resum

The occurrence of Intrauterine Growth Restriction is a spontaneous event which negatively influences the postnatal development. This effect has been assessed in pigs, but there are few data about potential changes in fatty acid composition. Hence, we analyzed fatty acids composition in the liver and muscle (longissimus dorsi) of 43 Iberian x Duroc newborn piglets. Sixteen of them were classified as Normal Birth-Weight piglets (8 males and 8 females, average weight 1402.2 ±321 g) and 27 were identified as Low Birth-Weight piglets (14 males and 13 females, average weight 635.7 ±159.1 g; P
