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 d in milk, 50.5 ± 7.2 kg/d milk) were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square split plot design with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of subplot treatments. Cows were blocked by energy-corrected milk (ECM) yield and allocated to a main plot receiving a basal diet (n = 16) with no supplemental PA (Low PA) or a basal diet (n = 16) with 1.5% inclusion of a FA supplement containing ~85% PA (High PA). In each main plot, the following subplots of treatment diets were fed in a Latin square arrangement consisting of 14-d periods: 1) a control diet (CON), 2) the control diet supplemented with 3% sodium acetate (AC), 3) the control diet supplemented with 12% whole cottonseed (CS), and 4) the control diet supplemented with 3% sodium acetate and 12% whole cottonseed (CS+AC). The PA supplement and sodium acetate replaced soyhulls, and whole cottonseed replaced cottonseed hulls and meal. All diets were balanced for 30% neutral detergent fiber (NDF), 23% forage NDF, 28% starch, and 17% crude protein (CP). Sources of FA were classified as de novo (<16 carbons), mixed (16-carbon), and preformed (>16 carbons). The statistical model included the random effect of cow nested within basal diet and fixed effect of period, basal diet, acetate, cottonseed, and their interactions. Three-way interactions among basal diet, acetate, and cottonseed were observed for the yields of milk fat, 3.5% fat-corrected milk (FCM), and the molar yields of de novo FA, mixed FA, and preformed FA. In the Low PA diets, AC and CS+AC increased the yields of milk fat and FCM compared with CON and CS, whereas, in the High PA diets, CS+AC increased the yields of milk fat and FCM compared with the other treatments and AC increased milk fat yield compared with CON and CS. Compared with Low PA, High PA increased milk fat content, mixed FA yield, and tended to increase C4:0 yield. Diets containing acetate increased DMI and the yields of milk fat, ECM, FCM, de novo FA, mixed FA, and preformed FA compared with diets without acetate. Diets containing cottonseed increased the yields of milk and preformed FA, tended to increase the yields of FCM and protein, and decreased DMI and the yields of de novo FA and mixed FA compared with diets without cottonseed. In summary, in high PA diets, the inclusion of acetate plus cottonseed increased milk fat yield compared with the other treatments. The CON diet in High PA increased milk fat yield to the same extent as AC and CS+AC in Low PA suggesting PA is important for initiating milk TG synthesis. Balancing the supply of de novo FA substrates and preformed FA is important for increasing the synthesis of milk fat triglycerides and milk fat production.

Abstract
We evaluated the effects of abomasal infusion of emulsifiers on fatty acid (FA) digestibility and milk production of lactating dairy cows. All emulsifiers examined were polysorbates, nonionic surfactants, consisting of a polyethoxylated sorbitan esterified with FA. The polysorbates tested in this study consisted of the same polyethoxylated sorbitan base but differed by the FA esterified to it. Eight rumen-cannulated multiparous cows (89 ± 13 d in milk) were assigned to a treatment sequence in 4 × 4 Latin squares with 18-d periods consisting of 7 d of washout and 11 d of infusion. Treatments were abomasal infusions of water only (CON) or 30 g/d of different emulsifiers as follows: polysorbate-C16:0 (T40), polysorbate-C18:0+C16:0 (T60), and polysorbate-C18:1 (T80). Emulsifiers were dissolved in water and delivered at 6-h intervals (total daily infusion was divided into 4 equal infusions per day). Cows were fed the same diet that contained (% diet dry matter) 32.1% neutral detergent fiber, 15.7% crude protein, 25.8% starch, and 3.32% FA (including 1.92% FA from a saturated FA supplement containing 34.2% C16:0 and 47.7% C18:0). The T80 treatment increased total FA digestibility compared with CON (5.40 percentage units) and T60 (3.90 percentage units) and tended to increase it compared with T40. Also, T40 tended to increase and T80 increased (4.80 percentage units) 16-carbon FA digestibility compared with CON. The T80 treatment increased 18-carbon FA digestibility compared with the other treatments. The T40 treatment tended to increase and T80 increased total FA absorption compared with CON (53 g/d) and T60 (52 g/d). Both T40 and T80 increased the absorption of 16-carbon FA compared with CON and T60. The T60 treatment did not differ from CON for any digestibility variable. Both T40 and T80 increased the yields of milk fat, 3.5% fat-corrected milk, and de novo, mixed, and preformed milk FA compared with CON. In conclusion, not all emulsifiers increased FA digestibility. Compared with CON, T80 increased the digestibility and absorption of total, 16-, and 18-carbon FA. The T40 treatment tended to increase and T80 increased total FA absorption and the yields of milk fat and 3.5% FCM compared with CON. Milk fat yield was increased by increases in de novo, mixed, and preformed milk FA. In our short-term infusion study, results suggest that the predominant FA present in the polysorbate affects its ability to improve FA digestibility. Overall, FA digestibility and absorption were improved the most when cows received the T80 treatment.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the seasonal variation in the positional distribution of fatty acids (FA) in bovine milk fat. Bovine milk samples were collected from May 2017 to April 2018 in the Netherlands, and the FA composition in the sn-2 position was determined by using sn-1(3)-selective transesterification of Candida antarctica lipase B. The majority of the FA showed significant variation at sn-2 and sn-1(3) positions between different seasons. The seasonal variation in sn-2 position was higher than the sn-1(3) positions. Parallel to the changes in the diet of the cows throughout a year, we observed an increase in blood-derived FA (i.e. C18:0, C18:1 cis-9) concentrations and a decrease in de novo-synthesized FA during summer. In winter, more saturated FA were esterified in sn-2 position of milk fat. Highest concentrations of palmitic acid, C16:0, was observed in sn-2 position in winter, whereas the amount of unsaturated FA at this position was highest in summer. These results showed that the FA compositions in different regiospecific positions changed due to season; however, the proportions of a specific FA within the 3 positions of the triacylglycerols in milk fat did not change upon seasonal variation.

Abstract
Our objective was to perform a series of meta-analyses to evaluate the effects of diets supplemented with saturated free fatty acid (FA) supplements (SFAA) compared with nonfat supplemented control diets (CON) on nutrient digestibility and production responses of lactating dairy cows and to determine whether experimental design affects responses to SFFA. We divided SFFA into C16:0-enriched supplements (PALM, FA supplements with ≥80% C16:0) and C16:0+C18:0-enriched supplements (MIX, FA supplements with ≥80% C16:0+C18:0). The database was formed from 32 peer-reviewed publications with SFFA supplemented at ≤3% diet dry matter (DM). We completed 3 different meta-analyses to meet our objectives. We analyzed the interaction between experimental design (continuous vs. change-over) and treatments (CON vs. SFFA; Meta.1). Regardless of experimental design, we evaluated the effect of treatment (CON vs. PALM vs. MIX; Meta.2) and the effect of 1-percentage-unit increase of MIX and PALM in diet DM (Meta.3). In Meta.1, there was no interaction between treatments and experimental design for any variable. In Meta.2, compared with CON, MIX had no effect on NDF digestibility, milk protein yield and energy corrected milk (ECM), increased the yields of milk (1.20 kg/d) and milk fat (0.04 kg/d), and decreased FA digestibility (5.20 percentage units). Compared with CON, PALM increased NDF digestibility (4.50 percentage units), the yields of milk (1.60 kg/d), milk fat (0.10 kg/d), milk protein (0.04 kg/d), and ECM (2.00 kg/d), and had no effect on FA digestibility. Compared with MIX, PALM tended to increase FA digestibility (3.20 percentage units), increased NDF digestibility (3.50 percentage units), milk fat yield (0.06 kg/d), and ECM (1.20 kg/d). In Meta.3, for each 1-percentage-unit increase of supplemental FA in diet DM, MIX had no effect on NDF digestibility, decreased FA digestibility, increased the yields of milk and milk fat, had no effect on milk protein yield, ECM and milk fat content, and decreased milk protein content. For each 1-percentage-unit increase of supplemental FA in diet DM, PALM increased NDF digestibility, had no effect on FA digestibility, increased the yields of milk, milk fat, ECM and milk fat content, tended to increase milk protein yield, and had no effect on milk protein content. Our results indicate no reason for the restrictive use of change-over designs in saturated FA supplementation studies and meta-analyses. Lactating dairy cows responded better to a FA supplement enriched in C16:0 compared with one containing C16:0 and C18:0.

Prom CM, Lock AL. Replacing stearic acid with oleic acid in supplemental fat blends improves fatty acid digestibility of lactating dairy cows. J Dairy Sci 2021; 104:9956-9966. [PMID: 34127262 DOI: 10.3168/jds.2020-19985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
The objective of our study was to determine the effects of altering the ratio of stearic (C18:0; SA) and oleic (cis-9 C18:1; OA) acids in supplemental fatty acid (FA) blends on FA digestibility and milk yield of dairy cows. Eight multiparous Holstein cows (mean ± SD; 157 ± 11.8 d in milk) were randomly assigned to treatment sequence in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square design with 14-d periods. Digestibility and production data were collected during the last 4 d of each period. The treatments were an unsupplemented control diet (CON), and 3 diets incorporating FA supplement blends at 1.4% of diet dry matter (DM) containing (as a % of total FA) 50% SA and 10% OA, 40% SA and 20% OA, or 30% SA and 30% OA. The FA blends were balanced to contain 33% palmitic, 5% linoleic, and <0.5% linolenic acids. The FA supplements replaced soyhulls in the CON diet. Preplanned contrasts were as follows: (1) overall effect of FA treatments [CON vs. the average of the FA-supplemented diets; (50:10 + 40:20 + 30:30)/3], (2) the linear effect of OA inclusion in the supplemental FA blend, and (3) the quadratic effect of OA inclusion in the supplemental FA blend. There was no effect of treatment on DM intake, but the replacement of soyhulls in the FA treatments decreased neutral detergent fiber intake. Overall, compared with CON, FA treatments increased DM and neutral detergent fiber digestibility, and increasing OA within FA treatments quadratically increased digestibility of DM and neutral detergent fiber. Overall, FA treatments increased the intake of total, 16-carbon, and 18-carbon FA, decreased the digestibility of total and 18-carbon FA, but increased absorption of total, 16-carbon, and 18-carbon FA. Within FA treatments, increasing OA linearly increased the digestibility of total, 16-carbon, and 18-carbon FA, as well as the absorption of total, 16-carbon, and 18-carbon FA. Overall, FA treatments increased the yields of milk, energy-corrected milk, and milk fat, and tended to increase milk protein yield. Compared with CON, FA treatments had no effect on the yield of de novo milk FA and increased the yields of mixed and preformed milk FA. Within FA treatments, increasing OA did not affect the yields of milk or milk components, linearly decreased the yield of de novo FA, and quadratically affected the yield of mixed and preformed milk FA. Overall, FA treatments increased plasma nonesterified fatty acids but did not affect β-hydroxybutyrate or insulin. Within FA treatments, increasing OA quadratically affected plasma nonesterified fatty acids, and tended to linearly increase β-hydroxybutyrate and quadratically affect insulin. In conclusion, supplemental FA blends containing different ratios of SA and OA did not affect DM intake but increased the yields of milk and milk components. Supplemental FA blends also increased digestibility of DM and neutral detergent fiber and decreased digestibility of total and 18-carbon FA compared with CON. Although increasing OA within FA supplements did not alter milk production, increasing OA within FA supplements increased total, 16-carbon, and 18-carbon FA digestibility and FA absorption. Further research is required to determine longer term effects of SA and OA on nutrient digestion and partitioning and opportunities for maintaining or improving FA digestibility with increasing SA intake and availability in the small intestine.

J Dairy Sci 2020; 104:2896-2909.

Abstract
The objectives of our study were to determine the effects of altering the dietary ratio of palmitic (C16:0) and oleic (cis-9 C18:1) acids on production and metabolic responses of early-lactation dairy cows during the immediate postpartum period and to evaluate carryover effects of the treatment diets early in lactation. Fifty-six multiparous cows were used in a randomized complete block design and randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments (14 cows per treatment) fed from 1 to 24 d in milk (DIM). The treatments were: (1) control (CON) diet not supplemented with fatty acids (FA); (2) diet supplemented with a FA blend containing 80% C16:0 and 10% cis-9 C18:1 (80:10); (3) diet supplemented with a FA blend containing 70% C16:0 and 20% cis-9 C18:1 (70:20); and (4) diet supplemented with a FA blend containing 60% C16:0 and 30% cis-9 C18:1 (60:30). The FA supplement blends were added at 1.5% of diet DM by replacing soyhulls in the CON diet. All cows were offered a common diet from d 25 to 63 postpartum (carryover period) to evaluate carryover effects. Three preplanned contrasts were used to compare treatment differences: CON versus FA-supplemented diets (80:10 + 70:20 + 60:30)/3; the linear effect of cis-9 C18:1 inclusion in diets; and the quadratic effect of cis-9 C18:1 inclusion in diets. During the treatment period, FA-supplemented diets increased milk yield, 3.5% fat-corrected milk (FCM), and energy-corrected milk (ECM) compared with CON. Compared with CON, FA-supplemented diets increased milk fat content, milk fat yield, yield of mixed FA, and tended to increase protein yield and lactose yield. Also, compared with CON, FA-supplemented diets tended to increase body condition score (BCS) change. A treatment by time interaction was observed for body weight (BW), due to 80:10 inducing a greater BW loss over time compared with other treatments. Increasing cis-9 C18:1 in FA treatments tended to linearly increase dry matter intake (DMI) but did not affect milk yield, 3.5% FCM, ECM, and the yields of milk fat, protein and lactose. Increasing cis-9 C18:1 in FA treatments linearly decreased milk fat content and milk lactose content. Also, increasing cis-9 C18:1 in FA treatments linearly decreased BW and BCS losses. During the carryover period, compared with CON, FA-supplemented diets tended to increase milk yield. Also, FA-supplemented diets increased 3.5% FCM, ECM, and milk fat yield, and tended to increase milk protein yield compared with CON. A treatment by time interaction was observed for BW due to 80:10 increasing BW over time compared with CON. Our results indicate that feeding FA supplements containing C16:0 and cis-9 C18:1 during the immediate postpartum period increased milk yield and ECM compared with a nonfat supplemented control diet. Increasing cis-9 C18:1 in the FA supplement increased DMI and reduced BW and BCS losses. Additionally, the fat-supplemented diets fed during the immediate postpartum period had a positive carryover effect during early lactation, when cows were fed a common diet.

Abstract
The objective of our study was to determine the effects of abomasal infusion of an emulsifier on fatty acid (FA) digestibility and production responses of lactating dairy cows. Eight rumen-cannulated cows (109 ± 18 d in milk) were randomly assigned to a treatment sequence in replicated 4 × 4 Latin squares with 18-d periods including 7 d of washout and 11 d of infusion with sampling on the last 4 d. Treatments were abomasal infusions of water carrier only (CON) and 3 levels of increasing doses of Tween 80 (polysorbate 80, Tween 80, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) delivering 15 (D-15), 30 (D-30), and 45 (D-45) g/d. The Tween 80 was dissolved in water before infusions, which were delivered at 6-h intervals. Cows were fed the same diet, which contained (% dry matter) 31% neutral detergent fiber, 17% crude protein, 25% starch, and 4% FA (2% dry matter from a saturated fat supplement containing 33% C16:0 and 51% C18:0). Increasing emulsifier infusion dose quadratically increased digestibility of total FA (60.7, 65.3, 70.9, and 66.8%), 16-carbon FA (61.7, 63.9, 70.4, and 66.7%), and 18-carbon FA (59.8, 65.6, 71.1, and 66.6%, respectively). Increasing emulsifier infusion dose quadratically increased absorbed total FA (625, 670, 744, and 658 g/d), 16-carbon FA (151, 157, 197, and 157 g/d, quadratic), and 18-carbon FA (420, 460, 500, and 444 g/d). Increasing emulsifier infusion dose tended to quadratically decrease dry matter intake (29.0, 28.8, 29.6, and 27.6 kg/d). Increasing emulsifier infusion dose quadratically increased milk fat content (3.23, 3.35, 3.45, and 3.35%), milk fat yield (1.54, 1.61, 1.65, and 1.55 kg/d), ECM (45.7, 46.9, 47.5, and 45.3 kg/d), and plasma nonesterified fatty acid concentration (95.6, 98.4, 101.2, and 98.6 μEq/L). On a yield basis, we observed that de novo, mixed, and preformed FA responded quadratically to Tween 80 infusion due to FA yield increasing up to D-30. Treatments had no effect on milk yield (47.9, 48.3, 48.0, and 46.6 kg/d). In conclusion, short-term infusion of an exogenous emulsifier improved FA digestibility and milk fat yield responses when cows were fed a diet containing a saturated fat supplement. Most digestion and production measurements responded quadratically because the highest dose of exogenous emulsifier (45 g/d) decreased dry matter intake and performance.

Abstract
AbstractThe aim of the present study was to compare the effects of post-ruminally infused fat supplements, varying in fatty acid (FA) chain length, on animal performance, metabolism and milk FA. Eleven multiparous Holstein dairy cows were used in a replicated incomplete 3 × 3 Latin square design with 7-d periods, separated by 7-d washouts. Treatments were administered as abomasal infusions of enrichments providing 280 g/d of FA: (1) palmitic acid (98·4 % 16 : 0; PA), (2) caprylic and capric acids (56·2 % 8 : 0, 43·8 % 10 : 0; medium-chain TAG (MCT)) and (3) stearic acid (99·0 % 18 : 0; SA). Relative to PA, SA decreased the efficiency of fat-corrected milk production, which was associated with a tendency for higher DM intake and lower FA absorption with SA, whereas MCT was not different from PA for these variables. Milk fat concentration and yield were increased by PA relative to SA, but only fat yield tended to be greater relative to MCT. Relative to PA, MCT increased milk fat concentration of FA < 16 C, whereas SA increased FA > 16 C. Expression of mammary stearoyl-coA desaturase 1 was lower with SA than with PA. Relative to PA, liver expression of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase-1 and pyruvate kinase was increased with MCT, whereas expression of these genes tended to be increased by SA. The mechanism of increased fat secretion with PA does not seem to be related to a modulation of the expression of lipogenesis-related genes, but rather to increased substrate availability as reflected by milk FA profile.

The effects of feeding rumen-inert fat sources on production responses of lactating dairy cows have been well reported but less thoroughly described in lactating dairy buffalo. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of oil and 2 different rumen-inert fat sources on dry matter intake, milk yield, milk composition, and milk fatty acid (FA) profile in Nili Ravi buffalo. Twelve multiparous mid-lactating Nili Ravi buffaloes received 4 treatments in a 4 × 4 Latin square design with a period length of 21 d. The treatments were (1) the basal diet without supplementation of oil or fats (CTRL), (2) the basal diet supplemented with canola oil (CO), (3) the basal diet supplemented with calcium salts of palm FA (Ca-FA), and (4) the basal diet supplemented with high palmitic acid (PA). Dry matter intake was decreased by 4.4% in the CO compared with Ca-FA and PA. Milk yield and milk fat yield were increased by 7.8 and 14.3%, respectively, in CO, Ca-FA, and PA compared with the CTRL. Milk fat content increased by 7.5%, whereas milk fat yield tended to increase with the supplementation of Ca-FA and PA compared with CO. No effect on milk yield and milk composition was observed in Ca-FA versus PA treatments. The yield of medium-chain FA was increased by Ca-FA and PA versus CO. The CO treatment increased the yield of long-chain FA compared with Ca-FA and PA treatments. Plasma glucose level was higher in CO, Ca-FA, and PA compared with the CTRL. In conclusion, feeding rumen-inert fats in the lactating buffalo diet proved to be a useful strategy to increase the 3.5% fat-corrected milk yield due to the higher milk fat content in this study.

Abstract
Over 100 years, the Journal of Dairy Science has recorded incredible changes in the utilization of fat for dairy cattle. Fat has progressed from nothing more than a contaminant in some protein supplements to a valuable high-energy substitute for cereal grains, a valuable energy source in its own right, and a modifier of cellular metabolism that is under active investigation in the 21st century. Milestones in the use of fats for dairy cattle from 1917 to 2017 result from the combined efforts of noted scientists and industry personnel worldwide, with much of the research published in Journal of Dairy Science. We are humbled to have been asked to contribute to this historical collection of significant developments in fat research over the past 100 years. Our goal is not to detail all the work published as each development moved forward; rather, it is to point out when publication marked a significant change in thinking regarding use of fat supplements. This approach forced omission of critically important names and publications in many journals as ideas moved forward. However, we hope that a description of the major changes in fat feeding during the past 100 years will stimulate reflection on progress in fat research and encourage further perusal of details of significant events.

Altering the ratio of dietary palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids in diets with or without whole cottonseed affects nutrient digestibility, energy partitioning, and production responses of dairy cows. J Dairy Sci 2017; 101:172-185. [PMID: 29128217 DOI: 10.3168/jds.2017-13460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2017] [Accepted: 09/06/2017] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of varying the ratio of dietary palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0), and oleic (cis-9 C18:1) acids in basal diets containing soyhulls or whole cottonseed on nutrient digestibility, energy partitioning, and production response of lactating dairy cows. Twenty-four mid-lactation multiparous Holstein cows were used in a split-plot Latin square design. Cows were allocated to a main plot receiving either a basal diet with soyhulls (SH, n = 12) or a basal diet with whole cottonseed (CS, n = 12) that was fed throughout the experiment. Within each plot a 4 × 4 Latin square arrangement of treatments was used in 4 consecutive 21-d periods. Treatments were (1) control (CON; no supplemental fat), (2) high C16:0 supplement [PA; fatty acid (FA) supplement blend provided ∼80% C16:0], (3) C16:0 and C18:0 supplement (PA+SA; FA supplement blend provided ∼40% C16:0 + ∼40% C18:0), and (4) C16:0 and cis-9 C18:1 supplement (PA+OA; FA supplement blend provided ∼45% C16:0 + ∼35% cis-9 C18:1). Interactions between basal diets and FA treatments were observed for dry matter intake (DMI) and milk yield. Among the SH diets, PA and PA+SA increased DMI compared with CON and PA+OA treatments, whereas in the CS diets PA+OA decreased DMI compared with CON. The PA, PA+SA, and PA+OA treatments increased milk yield compared with CON in the SH diets. The CS diets increased milk fat yield compared with the SH diets due to the greater yield of de novo and preformed milk FA. The PA treatment increased milk fat yield compared with CON, PA+SA, and PA+OA due to the greater yield of mixed-source (16-carbon) milk FA. The PA treatment increased 3.5% fat-corrected milk compared with CON and tended to increase it compared with PA+SA and PA+OA. The CS diets increased body weight (BW) change compared with the SH diets. Additionally, PA+OA tended to increase BW change compared with CON and PA and increased it in comparison with PA+SA. The PA and PA+OA treatments increased dry matter and neutral detergent fiber digestibility compared with PA+SA and tended to increase them compared with CON. The PA+SA treatment reduced 16-carbon, 18-carbon, and total FA digestibility compared with the other treatments. The CS diets increased energy partitioning toward body reserves compared with the SH diets. The PA treatment increased energy partitioning toward milk compared with CON and PA+OA and tended to increase it compared with PA+SA. In contrast, PA+OA increased energy partitioned to body reserves compared with PA and PA+SA and tended to increase it compared with CON. In conclusion, milk yield responses to different combinations of FA were affected by the addition of whole cottonseed in the diet. Among the combinations of C16:0, C18:0, and cis-9 C18:1 evaluated, fat supplements with more C16:0 increased energy output in milk, whereas fat supplements with more cis-9 C18:1 increased energy storage in BW. The combination of C16:0 and C18:0 reduced nutrient digestibility, which most likely explains the lower performance observed compared with other treatments.

Abstract
The effect of a high-palmitic acid fat supplement was tested in 12 high-producing (mean = 42.1 kg/d) and 12 low-producing (mean = 28.9 kg/d) cows arranged in a replicated 3 × 3 Latin square design. Experimental periods were 21 d, with 18d of diet adaptation and 3 d of sample collection. Treatments were (1) control (no supplemental fat), (2) high-palmitic acid (PA) supplement (84% C16:0), and (3) Ca salts of palm fatty acid (FA) supplement (Ca-FA). The PA supplement had no effect on milk production, but decreased dry matter intake by 7 and 9% relative to the control in high- and low-producing cows, respectively, and increased feed efficiency by 8.5% in high-producing cows compared with the control. Milk fat concentration and yield were not affected by PA relative to the control in high- or low-producing cows, although PA increased the yield of milk 16-C FA by more than 85 g/d relative to the control. The Ca-FA decreased milk fat concentration compared with PA in high-, but not in low-producing cows. In agreement, Ca-FA dramatically increased milk fat concentration of trans-10 C18:1 and trans-10, cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid (>300%) compared with PA in high-producing cows, but not in low-producing cows. No effect of treatment on milk protein concentration or yield was detected. The PA supplement also increased 16-C FA apparent digestibility by over 10% and increased total FA digestibility compared with the control in high- and low-producing cows. During short-term feeding, palmitic acid supplementation did not increase milk or milk fat yield; however, it was efficiently absorbed, increased feed efficiency, and increased milk 16-C FA yield, while minimizing alterations in ruminal biohydrogenation commonly observed for other unsaturated fat supplements. Longer-term experiments will be necessary to determine the effects on energy balance and changes in body reserves.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and other selected milk fatty acid (FA) content and for unsaturation ratios in the Italian Holstein Friesian population. Furthermore, the relationship of milk FA with milk fat and protein content was considered. One morning milk sample was collected from 990 Italian Holstein Friesian cows randomly sampled from 54 half-sib families, located in 34 commercial herds in the North-eastern part of Italy. Each sample was analyzed for milk percentages of fat and protein, and for single FA percentages (computed as FA weight as a proportion of total fat weight). Heritabilities were moderate for unsaturated FA, ranging from 0.14 for C16:1 to 0.19 for C14:1. Less than 10% of heritability was estimated for each saturated FA content. Heritability for index of desaturation, monounsaturated FA and CLA/trans-11 18:1 ratio were 0.15, 0.14, and 0.15, respectively. Standard errors of the heritability values ranged from 0.02 to 0.06. Genetic correlations were high and negative between C16:0 and C18:0, as well as between C14:0 and C18:0. Genetic correlations of index of desaturation were high and negative with C14:0 and C16:0 (-0.70 and -0.72, respectively), and close to zero (0.03) with C18:0. The genetic correlation of C16:0 with fat percentage was positive (0.74), implying that selection for fat percentage should result in a correlated increase of C16:0, whereas trans-11 C18:1 and cis-9, trans-11 C18:2 contents decreased with increasing fat percentage (-0.69 and -0.55, respectively). Genetic correlations of fat percentage with 14:1/14 and 16:1/16 ratios were positive, whereas genetic correlations of fat percentage with 18:1/18 and CLA/trans-11 18:1 ratios were negative. These results suggest that it is possible to change the milk FA composition by genetic selection, which offers opportunities to meet consumer demands regarding health aspects of milk and dairy products.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the effects of abomasal infusion of butterfat containing all fatty acids (FA) present in milk, including the short- and medium-chain FA, with infusion of only the long-chain FA (LCFA) present in milk, on the FA composition and milk fat yield in lactating dairy cows. Eight rumen-fistulated Holstein cows, in early lactation (49 +/- 20 days in milk) were used in a replicated 4 x 4 Latin square design. Treatments were abomasal infusion of the following: 1) no infusion (control), 2) 400 g/d of butterfat (butterfat), 3) 245 g/d of LCFA (blend of 59% cocoa butter, 36% olive oil, and 5% palm oil) providing 50% of the 16:0 and equivalent amounts of C18 FA as found in 400 g of butterfat, and 4) 100 g/d of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA, negative control), providing 10 g of trans-10, cis-12 CLA. Fat supplements were infused in equal portions 3 times daily at 0800, 1400, and 1800 h during the last 2 wk of each 3-wk experimental period. Daily dry matter intake and milk production were unaffected by the infusion treatments. Butterfat infusion increased milk fat percentage by 14% to 4.26% and milk fat yield by 21% to 1,421 g/d compared with controls (3.74% and 1,178 g/d). Milk fat percentage and fat yield were decreased by 43% by CLA. Milk protein percentage was higher (3.70%) in CLA-infused cows than in control (3.30%), butterfat (3.28%), or LCFA (3.27%) treatments. Although LCFA had no effect on fat synthesis, abomasal infusion of butterfat increased milk fat percentage and yield, suggesting that the availability of short- and medium-chain FA may be a limiting factor for milk fat synthesis.

Abstract
We studied effects of breed, dietary fat source, and dietary copper intake as factors known to influence unsaturation of milk fat and its potential for development of spontaneous oxidized flavor in milk. Twelve Holstein and 12 Jersey cows were allotted to three blocks with four cows of each breed. Cows within breed were allotted randomly within blocks and fed control or copper-depleting diets for 2 mo to achieve stable or depleted liver copper stores. Cows then were fed tallow or roasted whole soybeans in a two-period switchback (5 wk per period); during the last week of each period additional vitamin E (2000 IU/d) was added. Copper depletion for 2 mo decreased concentrations of copper in liver. Feed intake and milk yield were influenced only by breed. The proportions of C4:0 to C14:0 and C18:0 in milk fat were higher, whereas C16:1 and cis-C18:1 were lower in Jersey cows. Feeding soybeans increased C4:0 to C14:0, C18:0, C18:2, and C18:3 in milk, and decreased C14:1, C16:0, C16:1, trans-C18:1, and cis-C18:1. Depleted copper status increased conjugated linoleic acid in milk. Several breed x fat source interactions for individual milk fatty acids occurred. Feeding soybeans decreased plasma concentrations of copper and zinc, and increased concentrations of alpha-tocopherol in plasma and milk. The concentration of zinc was higher in milk of Jersey cows. Depleted copper status tended to increase copper concentration in plasma and decreased copper in milk. Fat source did not influence plasma copper concentration when status was adequate, but plasma copper concentration was higher when tallow was fed to cows with depleted copper status. Supplementing vitamin E increased concentration of alpha-tocopherol in plasma and milk and decreased concentration of zinc in milk. Factors influencing the potential for oxidized flavor development in milk can be manipulated by changing the diet of the cow.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of exogenously added fatty acids on de novo synthesis of individual fatty acids and their incorporation into triacylglycerols by dispersed lactating ruminant mammary gland epithelial cells. Palmitate addition strongly stimulated synthesis and incorporation of butyrate and, to a smaller extent, palmitate synthesis and incorporation. Oleic acid strongly inhibited synthesis of all fatty acids except butyrate, whereas the effect of lauric acid was nearly neutral. Free fatty acid depletion of the mammary gland cells potentiated the effect of palmitate and made oleate less inhibitory.

Abstract
Dispersed epithelial cells from lactating bovine and goat mammary glands incorporated acetate into all fatty acids (C4 to C16) that were incorporated into mainly triacylglycerols. The cells secreted free fatty acids only into the incubation medium, and this secretion was dependent on the concentration of albumin and the type and amount of exogenous fatty acid added to the medium. Addition of palmitic acid to the incubation medium stimulated synthesis and incorporation of fatty acids synthesized de novo into triacylglycerols, whereas stearic and linoleic acid were inhibitory.

Abstract
Both subcellular fractions of lactating goat mammary gland and dispersed lactating goat mammary-gland cells were able to incorporate [U-3H]2-O-hexadecylglycerol into monoalkyl-monoacylglycerol. However, the incorporation of [U-3H]2-O-hexadecylglycerol into monoalkyl-monoacylglycerol by dispersed cells was not accompanied by incorporation of fatty acid synthesized de novo or added radiolabelled fatty acid. The result therefore shows that an active monoacylglycerol pathway does not exist in goat mammary gland.

Abstract
ATP alone had no effect on incorporation of fatty acids synthesized de novo and membrane-bound diacylglycerol into triacylglycerol. Combined addition of ATP and Mg2+ totally inhibits incorporation of fatty acids synthesized de novo and stimulated incorporation of membrane-bound diacylglycerol. ATP, Mg2+ and glycerol 3-phosphate stimulate incorporation of fatty acids synthesized de novo into triacylglycerol, but inhibited the incorporation of membrane-bound diacylglycerol. Diacylglycerol generated in situ was shown to be superior to diacylglycerols preloaded on the membrane as substrate for the diacylglycerol acyltransferase. A model is proposed to explain the effect of absorbed exogenous fatty acid on fatty acid synthesis de novo in goat mammary gland.

Abstract
Fourteen samples of milk fat, representing a wide range of individual fatty acid contents, were subjected to stereospecific analysis to determine fatty acid contents at the sn-1-, sn-2- and sn-3-positions of the triglycerides. Highly significant linear relationships were found between the content of a fatty acid at the 3 positions and the content of the same acid in the intact triglycerides. As the content of an acid increased in the triglycerides there were increases in the content of that acid at the 3 positions. When the content of an acid changed in the triglycerides, the content at the 3 stereospecific positions did not change at the same rate. The positions with the highest slope values corresponded to the positions where the individual fatty acids were preferentially esterified.

Abstract
Milk triglycerides from the echidna, koala, Tammar wallaby, guinea pig, dog, cat, Weddell seal, horse, pig and cow were subjected to fatty acid and stereospecific analysis to determine the positional distribution of the fatty acids in the triglycerides. The samples presented a wide range of fatty acids, most of which varied in content among species. The compositions of the acids at the 3 positions also varied among species, reflecting the content of these acids in the triglycerides. However, there was a general similarity in fatty acid positional distribution patterns for all the species with the exception of the echidna. The echidna exhibited a completely different fatty acid positional distribution pattern. The saturated acids were preferentialy esterified at the sn-1-position whereas the unsaturated acids were selectively esterified at the sn-2-position. The triglyceride carbon number distribution of milk from the above species (with the exception of the Weddell seal) was determined by gas liquid chromatography and compared to that predicted by the 1-random-2-random-3-random fatty acid distribution hypothesis. Agreement was excellent between observed and predicted composition for echidna, koala, Tammar wallaby, guinea pig and pig milk, and agreement was reasonable for dog, cat, horse and cow milk. Results are discussed in relation to biochemical mechanisms.

Abstract
The microsomal bound phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase from lactating rat mammary tissue had a specific activity of six nmoles per mg protein per minute. The optimum pH was 7.0; magnesium at 1.3 mM was required for maximum activity, and at low substrate concentrations magnesium lowered the Km of the enzyme for phosphatidic acid. Diglycerides exerted little effect while diglyceride ether stimulated enzyme activity. Inorganic salts, i.e., potassium phosphate and potassium chloride, enhanced rates of phosphatidic acid hydrolysis under standard assay conditions.

Abstract
1. Microsomal 1,2-diacylglycerol acyltransferase from lactating cow mammary gland incorporated equal molar amounts of microsomal-bound 1,2-dipalmitoyl [2-3H]glycerol and [1-14C]-butyrate, [1-14C]hexanoate or [1-14C]palmitate from their CoA esters into triacylglycerol. The enzyme could also utilize exogenous 1,2-diacylglycerols in the presence of ethanol. 2. The pH optimum of the enzyme was 6.1 and 6.4 with butyryl-CoA and hexanoyl-CoA respectively. Values of V were approximately the same (2.7 and 2.4 nmol-min-1-mg-1, respectively), but values of Km were different (34 and 10 muM, respectively) with these two substrates. Mg2+ was not required as cofactor. 3. The presence ofa Mg2+-dependent phosphatidate phosphatase in the microsomal fraction was demonstrated. 4. It is proposed that triacylglycerols containing butyric and hexanoic acid are biosynthesized in cow mammary gland by the glycerolphosphate pathway, in which long-chain 1,2-diacylglycerols derived from phosphatidic acid are acylated at the sn-3 position by short-chain acyl-CoA esters.

Abstract
The acyl-CoA:acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferases located in the microsomal fraction of lactating bovine mammary tissue show a preference for palmityl-CoA particularly above the apparent Km values of the acyl acceptors. Using saturating levels of monopalmityl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate, the order of acylation was palmityl- greater than myristyl- greater than oleyl- greater than stearyl- greater than linoleyl-CoA. Apparent Km values for monopalmityl- and mono-oleyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate with palmityl-CoA as donor were 16 and 13muM, respectively while the Km values for palmityl-CoA with these two acyl acceptors were 5 and 5.2muM, RESPECTIVELY. The apparent Vmax values for the palmityl acceptor and donor were 25 and 30 nmol/min/mg protein. Phosphatidic acid was the principal product. The inclusion of magnesium in the assay depressed activity while the addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetate doubled the rate of acylation.

Abstract
The distribution of phospholipids as well as their fatty acid compositions of rat mammary tissues were examined during pregnant, lactating, and post-weaning periods. There was no apparent change in phospholipids and their acyl groups during the early and late pregnant periods. However, tissue phospholipid composition was different during pregnant, early, and late lactating periods. After parturition, there was a marked increase in the proportion of diacyl-glycerophosphorylcholine in the phospholipids of mammary tissue, but this proportion decreased gradually during lactation. The decrease in diacyl-glycerophosphorylcholine during lactation was marked by a corresponding increase in diacyl-glycerophosphorylethanolamie. Although the shorter chain fatty acids of triglycerides were increased during lactation, only a small proportion of these fatty acids was found in the phosphoglycerides. Marked changes in acyl group composition of individual phospholipids are found during these different physiological stages. In general, there was a rapid decrease in 20:4 and an increase in 18:2 in the major phosphoglycerides during parturition. The proportion of 20:4 in the phosphoglycerides remained low throughout the entire lactating period, while that of 18:2 continued to increase 2-3 fold. Most of the changes in acyl group of the phosphoglycerides during lactation returned to normal ca. 10 days after weaning. A possible relationship of the variation of phospholipid and acyl group compositions in mammary tissue to changes in hormonal pattern during different physiological stages is discussed.

Abstract
Daily yields of milk, milk fat, phospholipids, and fatty acids were measured weekly during lactations of two groups of cows on a normal and restricted roughage diet. Milk yield was higher in normal cows during the initial 15 wk of lactation. Fat production decreased and was consistently lower in milk from cows on restricted roughage (from 1.2 to .4 in normal and from .8 to .3 kg/day for restricted). Phospholipid secretion decreased from an average 7 g to 3 g/day in both groups. The concentration of phospholipid in both milks fluctuated during lactation (20 to 30 mg/100 ml milk), but in milks from restricted cows it tended to increase with progress of lactation. Milk lipids from cows on restricted diets had higher phospholipid to fat ratio, (1.0 to 1.5 compared to .5 to .6 g phospholipid/100 g fat for milk from normal cows). Composition of the phospholipid classes changed slightly during lactation. Phosplatidylinositol changed most, increasing from 4 to 10 and 6 to 8% in normal and restricted milks, respectively. Fatty acids of short and medium chain lengths (C6 to C14) followed a typical quadratic regression in normal milks increasing from 10 to 30% of the total fatty acids during the first 25 wk of lactation. In restricted milk these fatty acids were already high (25%) within 2 wk and followed a linear regression with lactation. Both palmitic and stearic acid were lower in milk from restricted cows while oleic and linoleic acid were higher particularly after 10 wk of lactation.

Abstract
Four normal and two individuals with Type IIa hyperlipoproteinemia were placed on the National Heart and Lung Institute Type IIa diet (low cholesterol, smaller than 300 mg/day, high polyunsaturated, low saturated fat diet) for 1 week and on a normal diet the following week. Plasma samples were obtained and the triacylglycerols, phospholipids, and cholesterol contents of plasma and of very low density lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins, and high density lipoproteins determined. Triacyglycerol fatty acid composition was determined and stereospecific analyses of triacglycerols and phosphatidyl cholines performed. Structural determinations were limited to one normal and one Type IIa individual. In normal and Type IIa individuals, chylomicrons contained twice the amount of 18:0 as did the very low density lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins, or high density lipoproteins. The structure of the triacyglycerols from the very low density lipoproteins and low density lipoproteins was asymmetric with at least 50M% 16:0 in the sn-1 position and mostly 18:1 in positions sn-2 and 3. There was a marked difference in the distribution of 18:2 in low density lipoproteins of the normal and Type IIa individuals. The control contained equal amounts of 18:2 in the sn-1 and sn-3 positions, whereas IIa low density lipoprotein was asymmetric with 26% of the 18:2 in position sn-1 and 3% in the sn-3 position. Very low density lipoprotein was asymmetric with regard to 18:2 in control and IIa samples with an average of 5% of the 18:2 in position sn-1 and 40% in position sn-3. The phosphatidyl cholines contained predominantly 16:0 and 18:0 in position sn-1, whereas the acids in position sn-2 were unsaturated with very little difference between lipoprotein classes. Neither the short dietary periods nor source of plasma affected the structure of the phosphatidyl cholines.

Abstract
Intravenous injection of heparin increases lipoprotein lipase activity of circulating serum presumably by removing the enzyme from its location on the capillary endothelium. The incorporation of carbon-14 uniformly labeled glucose and carbon-14 1-labeled palmitic acid into fractionated milk fat triglycerides was studied in both normal and heparin treated lactating goats. The objective was to remove lipoprotein lipase from the mammary gland capillaries and to contrast normal milk fat synthesis with a situation presumed to cause the gland to be solely dependent on the phosphatidic acid pathway. The studies with labeled glucose indicated that under normal conditions there are two sources of milk glyceride glycerol; while following heparin injections, there is a single glycerol pool providing most of the glyceride glycerol. The investigations with labeled palmitic acid indicated that under normal conditions there are two sources of palmitic acid coming from the blood which enter nonequilibrating cellular pools. Palmitic acid from both pools is available for triglyceride synthesis. Following heparin injections there appears to be a common intracellular pool of pre-formed palmitic acid derived from the blood. The data indicate that lipoprotein lipase operating on blood triglycerides yields a 2-mono-glyceride which subsequently enters the gland and is utilized for milk fat synthesis.
