Milk production responses of dairy cows to fatty acid supplements with different ratios of palmitic and oleic acids in low- and high-fat basal diets

Abstract:: We evaluated the effects of fatty acid (FA) supplements with different ratios of palmitic acid (C16:0) and oleic acid (cis-9 C18:1) in low- and high-FA basal diets on production responses of lactating dairy cows. Thirty-six multiparous Holstein cows (50.2 ± 5.8 kg/d of milk; 160 ± 36 d in...
