There is increasing evidence to indicate that nutrition is an important factor involved in the
onset and development of several chronic human diseases including cancer, cardiovascular …

To meet the energy requirements of high-yielding dairy cows, grains and fats have
increasingly been incorporated in ruminant diets. Moreover, lipid supplements have been …

Fat is an important constituent contributing to the organoleptic, processing and physical
properties of ruminant milk. Understanding the regulation of milk fat synthesis is central to …

Mammary synthesis of milk fat continues to be an active research area, with significant
advances in the regulation of lipid synthesis by bioactive fatty acids (FAs). The …

In addition to its economic value, milk fat is responsible for many of milk's characteristics and
can be markedly affected by diet. Diet-induced milk fat depression (MFD) was first described …

Growth in demand for foods with potentially beneficial effects on consumer health has
motivated increased interest in developing strategies for improving the nutritional quality of …

Ruminant milk fat is of unique composition among terrestrial mammals, due to its great
diversity of component fatty acids. The diversity arises from the effects of ruminal …

Milk fat synthesis in dairy cows can be inhibited by unique fatty acid intermediates that are
produced during rumen biohydrogenation. One of these inhibitory intermediates is trans-10 …

The effect of nutrition on milk fat yield and composition has largely been investigated in cows
and goats, with some differences for fatty acid (FA) composition responses and marked …

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers effect an impressive range of biological processes
including the ability to inhibit milk fatty acid synthesis. Although this has been demonstrated …
