AbstractFat supplementation in the diet influences reproductive performance of lactating ruminants. Changes in the fat supply alter fatty acid composition and this can affect physical properties of cell membranes. This study examined the effect of rumen bypass polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplementation on oocyte quality, chilling sensitivity, and lipid phase transition in oocytes of the sheep. Ewes were fed a diet supplemented with calcium soaps of fish oil for 13 weeks. More follicles and oocytes were found in the ovaries of ewes supplemented with PUFA than in control ewes. The number of high‐quality oocytes was higher in ewes fed PUFA than in control ewes (74.3 and 57.0%, P < 0.05, respectively). Evaluation of phospholipid fatty acid composition indicated that PUFA were present in small proportions in oocytes, and eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid were absent. Supplementation with PUFA increased the proportion of long chain unsaturated fatty acid in the plasma and cumulus cells phospholipids by 7.4 and 12.7%, respectively (P < 0.05).Integrity of oocyte membranes following chilling (16°C, 15 min) was improved by PUFA supplementation increasing from 62.5 to 90.0% (P < 0.05). Due to changes in the oocyte's fatty acid profile, physical properties of the membrane were changed and the midpoint temperature of lipid transition reduced by 11°C. These results suggest that supplementation of rumen bypass PUFA to ruminant diets can change fatty acid composition of follicle components and influence parameters such as number and quality of oocytes and their chilling resistance.
