Disclosed is a method of minimizing infection and minimizing the risks of infection in at risk animals and patients. A dietary supplement to accomplish this objective is also disclosed. The method includes the step of administering a diet rich in .omega.3 fatty acids, for example by adding a substantial proportion of fish oils to the diet. The dietary supplement is particularly well suited to patients receiving total parenteral nutrition. A parenteral diet or diet supplement containing a mixture of oils, one rich in .omega.3 fatty acids and the other rich in .omega.6 fatty acids is disclosed.
