Mammary gland responses to altering the supply of de novo fatty acid substrates and preformed fatty acids on the yields of milk components and milk fatty acids

ABSTRACT: The objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of altering the dietary supply of acetate, palmitic acid (PA), and cottonseed on the yields of milk components and milk fatty acids (FA) in lactating dairy cows. Thirty-two multiparous Holstein cows (133 ± 57 DIM, 50.5 ± 7.2 kg/d of mil...
