Table 6 Effect of the herring oil, soya oil, and canola oil experimental diets and feeding intensity on mink liver lipid%, liver weight, and HSI

From: High feeding intensity increases the severity of fatty liver in the American mink (Neovison vison) with potential ameliorating role for long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids
