Extract

Previous work has reported an increase in the unsaturated fatty acid composition of cows milk when diets containing malt distillers grains (Draff) are fed (Hyslop and Roberts, 1988). However, the underlying nature and efficiency of the transfer of dietary fatty acids (FA) to milk fat remains to be examined. The objective of this study is to quantify the relationships between intake of C:16 - C:20 dietary FA and their output in milk.
