Effects of medium-chain fatty acid supplementation on performance and rumen fermentation of lactating Holstein dairy cows
Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) have antimicrobial properties and cause negative or positive effects on animal performance depending on its dosage. We hypothesized that MCFA supplementation at a lower dose (i.e., 0.05–0.2% of dietary DM) would increase rumen pH and milk production without decreasin...
