Abstract
Apparent transfer efficiency of docosahexaenoic acid from diet to milk in dairy cattle was investigated. Three levels of a fish meal-containing supplement, 4.5, 14.9, and 29.1% of dry matter intake were added to a basal diet. A linear decline (from 34% to 11%) in apparent transfer efficiency was observed, as level of supplement increased. Key words: Docosahexaenoic acid, fish meal, milk compositionKeywords
