PLS-DA score plots for the comparison of fatty acid profiles of colostrum (day 0; panel A), transient milk (day 3; panel B) and mature milk (day 17; panel C) samples collected from sows in parity 1 (
), parity 2–6 (
) and parity 7 (
). VIP scores derived from the comparison among mature milk samples (day 17) with indicative fatty acids accountable for the discrimination and their relative abundances are visualized in panel D.
