Description
Extensive, pasture-based systems appear to offer the most cost-effective and natural means of cis 9 trans 11 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) levels of milk fat. However, since most regions in Europe rely increasingly on conserved forages for winter feeding of lactating animals, it is necessary to develop feeding systems for both fresh and conserved forage diets. An understanding of the mechanisms that cause the differences in CLA response to conservation is an essential pre-requisite to this task. This study investigated whether grass species affected CLA and trans vaccenic acid (TVA) production in an in vitro system.
