Summary

The effects of the isocaloric replacement of part of the dietary concentrate mixture by either tallow or cottonseed oil on the yield and composition of the milk fat was investigated in 2 feeding experiments with a total of 26 cows in midlactation. The concentrates were given with high- or low-roughage diets that supplied either 9·1–9·5 or 1·8–3·2kg hay/day.

In expt 1, the addition of cottonseed oil to the high-roughage diet increased the yield of milk fat during the first 8 days but decreased it during the last 4 days of a 28-day feeding period. In contrast, the inclusion of tallow in the high-roughage diet resulted in an increased yield of milk fat that was sustained throughout the period of 28 days. In expt 2, the intake of dietary fat was less than it was in expt 1 and the inclusion of tallow or cottonseed oil in either the high- or low-roughage diets had little effect on the yield of milk fat.

The inclusion of either fat in the diet increased the yields and percentages of stearic and oleic acids and, in general, decreased the yields and percentages of the medium-chain fatty acids (10:0, 12:0 and 14:0) in the milk fat. The addition of tallow to the diet did not appear to alter the yields of the short-chain fatty acids (C4–C8, 4:0, 6:0 and 8:0) in the milk fat. When the low-roughage diets resulted in a decreased yield of milk fat, the secretion of all the fatty acids in the milk fat was reduced, but the reduction in the secretion of oleic acid was less than the reductions in the secretions of the other constituent fatty acids.
