Pork. Hogs are noted for putting on fat that can vary from soft to relatively hard. Its all about what the piglets are fed during growing and finishing. Makes me ask, how to increase tge saturated fat level of pork.

One source lists pork fat at 1:1 saturated to unsaturated fats.

And this tid bit to work in...

A recent paper published in the Journal of Animal Science suggests producers may want to adjust pig diets when including distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). Some producers believe that feeding pigs saturated fats will undo the fat-softening effects of DDGS. Firmer fat means longer-lasting pork.

Which feeds increase the saturated fat in pork....
