Vegetative regulation of the content of omega-6 fatty acids in the body of goats

The correction of lipid metabolism to increase the productivity of goats is essential due to the established interdependence of lipid levels in the body and milk production. The research was carried out on Zaanensky goats; the experimental groups were formed by means of a variation-pulseometric study with the establishment of the tone of the autonomic nervous system and the division of animals into three experimental groups: sympathotonics, vagotonics, and normotonics. According to the results of chromatographic studies, it was found that the content of linoleic fatty acid in the experimental group of goats with a predominance of the parasympathetic nervous system was 17.1 % lower (P < 0.001) compared to normotonics. The content of cis-8,11,14-eicosatrienoic fatty acid in the experimental group of goats with a predominance of the sympathetic nervous system was 1.7 times higher (P < 0.05), and in goats with a predominance of the parasympathetic nervous system, it was 2.3 times higher (P < 0.001) compared to the experimental group of normotonics. The content of arachidonic fatty acid in the experimental group of goats with a predominance of the sympathetic nervous system was 15.7 % higher (P < 0.001), and in goats with a predominance of the parasympathetic nervous system, the content of arachidonic fatty acid was 17.9 % lower (P < 0.001) compared to the experimental group of normotonics. The obtained indicators reflect the different activities of the autonomic nervous system. Therefore, taking into account these individual characteristics of the goat organism will improve the development of food additives for the correction of fatty acid composition and increase the reliability of the results. Further prospects for the study are to develop feed additives for the correction of lipid metabolism, taking into account the tone of the autonomic nervous system.
