High producing dairy cows generally receive in the diet up to 5–6% of fat. This is a relatively
low amount of fat in the diet compared to diets in monogastrics; however, dietary fat is …

The objective of this meta-analysis was to determine the effects of supplemental fat on fiber
digestibility in lactating dairy cattle. Published papers that evaluated the effects of adding fat …

Lauric acid (LA) has the possibility to improve milk production in dairy cows by improving
mammary gland development, however, the mechanism by which it might regulate …

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the feeding of coconut oil (CO), in which lauric
acid (La) comprises about 50% of the fatty acid composition, as a practical rumen protozoa …

Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) have antimicrobial properties and cause negative or
positive effects on animal performance depending on its dosage. We hypothesized that …

Background As a feed additive, medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs)/medium-chain fatty acid
triglycerides (MCTs) have been used in ruminant production, but mostly added in the form of …

Simple Summary Palm kernel oil (PKO) is extracted from an oleaginous seed fruit (Elaeis
guineenses Jacq.) commonly cultivated in Brazil and can be used strategically as a ruminal …

Dietary fat can be used in dairy cow nutrition to reduce enteric methane (CH 4), but studies
with multiple dietary fat concentrations are scarce. Among fat sources, rapeseed is easily …

The effects of Acremonium terricola culture (ATC) on performance, rumen fermentation and
microbiota, and antioxidant and immune functions in dairy cows were investigated in two …

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different dosages and types of
medium‐chain fatty acids (MCFAs) on rumen fermentation in vitro under low‐and high …
