Long-term effects of abomasal infusion of linoleic and linolenic acids on the enrichment of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids into milk fat of lactating cows

Our objective was to compare abomasal infusions of linoleic (18:2n-6) and α-linolenic (18:3n-3) acid on the incorporation of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids (FA) into the milk fat of dairy cows and to evaluate their potential carryover effects.
