Extract

Data on ruminal metabolism of lipids from forages have shown extensive biohydrogenation of C18 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Lee et al. 2003). Recent studies have noted a reduction in biohydrogenation an increase in duodenal flow of C18:1 trans- 11 and a shift in the ruminal production of CLA from cis- 9 trans- 11 CLA towards trans- 10 cis- 12 CLA with increasing amounts of concentrate in the diet (Kucuk et al. 2001, Loor et al. 2004). The study assessed the effect of feeding steers on isonitrogenous and isolipid diets differing in forage concentration and supplemented with linseed oil on ruminal lipid metabolism.
