Fatty Acid Profiles Associated with Microbial Colonization of Freshly Ingested Grass and Rumen Biohydrogenation
|
ABSTRACT
Two in situ studies were conducted to examine the use of odd-chain fatty acid profiles to study microbial colonization of freshly ingested herbage in the rumen as well as fatty acid biohydrogenation. In the first study, fresh perennial ryegrass was subjected to a range of sample preparation methods before incubation in the rumen for 2 or 7 h. In the second study, fresh perennial ryegrass was chopped into 1-cm lengths and incubated in polyester bags in the rumen for 2, 8, and 2...

Short communication: Net uptake of nonesterified long chain fatty acids by the perfused caudate lobe of the caprine liver
Journal of Dairy Science
; ABSTRACT The objective was to determine whether net uptake of various nonesterified long chain fatty acids differs in the caprine liver. Caudate lobes were isolated from four mature goats and perfused (1 ml/min x g wet tissue) with buffer containing 0.3 mM of each palmitic, stearic, oleic,
