Summary

Levels of free fatty acids (FFA) were determined in milk from cows after 7 months of lactation and 4 months of pregnancy immediately after milking (initial FFA) and after 22 h storage at 4 °C (FFA-22). During the pre-experimental period, cows were at pasture. When housed indoors (experimental period) they were fed hay or grass silage for 3 weeks. Then all cows received grass silage for 3 weeks (post-experimental period). Feeding hay did not increase FFA-22 content in milk compared with pasture, but grass silage feeding enhanced FFA-22 content in milk compared with pasture (+130 %) or hay (+93 %). Increased lipolysis with grass silage was not due to underfeeding of the cows because grass silage and hay were both of high nutritive value. As pasture, hay and grass silage were of the same type (native mountain grassland), the high level of lipolysis occurring with grass silage probably resulted from the method of forage conservation.
