Udo Erasmus has such a table in "Fats that heal, Fats that kill", page
224, 225. Comparing Pigs and Wild warthog, various cattle types like
domestic, Zebu and wild Eland/Buffalos.
Comparing total fat and SFA,MUFA, LA, LNA, AA, DHA.
There are very fundamental differences.
For example:
Cattle SFA-16 -18 MUFA LA LNA 20:4w6 22:6w3
wild 16 20 21 16 5 8.2 3.2
domestic 28 12 40 2.1 0.8 0.7 0.8
