TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between in vitro true digestibility of dry matter (IVTD) and in vitro gas production was investigated and the influence of chemical constituents on gas and volatile fatty acid (VFA) was investigated.

TL;DR: Canola oil treatments decreased palmitic acid and increased oleic acid content of milk fat compared with the control and abomasal infusion, and changes in sn-2 composition reflect specificity of the acyl transferases and substrate concentration.

TL;DR: Five primiparous Holstein cows that were fitted with ruminal and duodenal cannulas were used in a 4 x 5 incomplete Latin square to determine the effects of blends of steam-flaked and dry-rolled corn on site and extent of nutrient digestion and milk yield and composition.

TL;DR: Modest supplementation using highly unsaturated fats to diets containing whole cottonseed can increase milk production without disturbing rumen function, evident by the similar VFA concentrations, nutrient digestibilities, and milk composition.

TL;DR: Complete mixed diets containing 0, 10, 15, or 20% whole cottonseed were fed to 12 cows in a 4 X 4 Latin square design, and milk fatty acid composition changed little with status.
