Abstract
Experiments to determine the influence of food lipids upon the milk secreted, have been carried out employing the cow and goat as experimental animals. A ration from which most of the fat had been extracted produced a marked lowering in the volume of milk secreted without any significant alteration in its fat content. The fat secreted in the milk upon a low-fat ration, had a lower iodine number then that produced upon a normal ration. The decreasing milk secretion on the low-fat diet was accompanied by a gradual decrease in the blood lipids.
