Abstract
The proportion of MCFA in milk fat was lowest for Holstein, highest for Jersey, and intermediate for Brown Swiss cows. Proportions of SCFA (C4:0 to C8:0) and LCFA (> 18 C) did not differ among breeds. Differences in fatty acid composition among breeds were small, but could contribute to differences in manufacturing properties of milk fat. Key words: Holstein, Jersey, Brown Swiss, milk fatty acidsKeywords
