TL;DR: It was concluded that sunflower seed oil reduced rumen fauna and the C16:0 proportion of fat, while increasing C18:2 and CLA content in the muscle and fat tissues.

TL;DR: Although protocols have been developed to treat feedlot bloat, the most profitable approach is to use management strategies to reduce its likelihood, and a thorough understanding of the behavioral, dietary, and microbial events that precipitate bloat in feedlot cattle is needed.

TL;DR: In this paper, four Alpine does were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design to determine the effects of feeding canola oil at four levels: 0 (no oil), 2% (40g), 4% (80g) and 6% (120g) of grain intake, on milk constituents, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and long chain fatty acids.

TL;DR: Barley silage was sprayed with water or with a 2:1 combination of commercial cellulase and xylanase preparations, or the enzymes were introduced directly into the rumen, in a digestibility study using 10 sheep to study apparent digestibilities of dry matter and neutral detergent fibre.

TL;DR: In this article, the relative increase in the CLA content of lamb tissues by dietary CLA supplementation (0.33 g/d for 21 days prior to weaning) to milk-replacer of preruminant lambs or by feeding linoleic acid rich oil (Safflower oil, 6% DM-SAFF) to weaned ruminating lambs with that of lambs receiving unsupplemented milkreplacer and pelleted feed.
