ABSTRACT
The trans-10, cis-12 isomer of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a potent inhibitor of milk fat synthesis; its ability to reduce milk fat output in a controlled manner as a feed supplement, has potential management applications in the dairy industry. The effectiveness of dietary supplements of trans-10, cis-12 CLA is related to the extent to which their metabolism by rumen bacteria is minimized. A number of processes have been used to manufacture "rumen-protected" feed supplements, and their efficacy can be described by the extent of protection from rumen bacteria as well as postruminal bioavailability. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of 2 rumen-protected ...
