Abstract
SUMMARY: The fatty acid composition of milk samples from Ayrshire twin cows was determined. The results were in general agreement with those reported by other workers. Comparisons between the variation within pairs of one and two-egg twins showed that the proportions of different fatty acids are subject to a high degree of genetic control.Keywords
