Fatty acids in breast milk during lactation in <i>Ateles geoffroyi</i> offspring in managed care and semi-free-ranging
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) are precursors of omega-3 and omega-6, which are considered essential fatty acids (EFA), for pre-and post-natal neural development of several species including non-human primates (NHPs), (Hornstra 2000;Milligan & Bazinet, 2008).The deficiency of these EFA can provoke growth retardation (Burr & Burr 1929), behavioral changes (Reisbick et al., 1994) and motor skill (Champoux et al., 2002).These LC-PUFAs coming from the mother diet (Huang & Brenna 2001), which have been reported in folivorous and omnivorous NHPs in manage care (Milligan
