Article: Short communication: Assessment of the potential of cinnamaldehyde, condensed tannins, and saponins to modify milk fatty acid composition of dairy cows1

ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to determine whether feeding cinnamaldehyde (main component of cinnamon bark essential oil; Cinnamon cassia) , condensed tannins from quebracho trees (Schinopsis balansae), or saponins from Yucca schidigera altered the milk fatty acid profile of dairy cows. For this purpose, 4 lactating cows were used in 4 × 4 Latin square design (28-d period) and fed a total mixed ration containing no additive (control), supplemented with cinnamaldehyde (1 g/d; CIN), condensed tannin extract (150 g/d; 70% of QCT), or Yucca schidigera saponin extract (60 10% of saponins; YSE). Results revealed no effects of feeding CIN or QCT on milk fatty acid profile. Supplementation ...
