Fatty Acids Yield Benefits in Early Lactation Dairy

“New research from Michigan State University has demonstrated significant improvements in cow productivity with specific fatty acid supplementation through early lactation.

The concept of feeding fat in dairy rations is nothing new — the energy-dense nutrient is hugely beneficial to meeting increased nutritional requirements as cows simultaneously produce milk while maintaining body condition ahead of breeding.

However, developing science continues to improve knowledge on the roles of different fatty acids, the building blocks of fat, on animal performance.”
