TLDR
Four rumen-fistulated Holstein cows were used in a Latin square design experiment over 20 weeks to compare effects of a standard diet, basal low-fat, basal + hydrogenated tallow, and basal + soybean oil diets on voluntary feed intake, rumen fermentation, and on yield and composition of milk.

Altering Milk Composition by Feeding

TL;DR: The relationship between feed constituents and milk composition is complex as mentioned in this paper, and the complexity of the interrelationships of the several different responses to a single dietary change suggest that mechanistic models covering complete nutrient utilization by the dairy cow may be necessary.

Dietary fat and adipose tissue metabolism in ruminants, pigs, and rodents: a review.

TL;DR: Dietary fat decreased de novo fatty acid synthesis and basal glycerol release in adipose tissue and tended to increase simultaneously beta-adrenergic lipolytic responses to increased membrane fluidity and a trend toward insulin resistance, which was more marked with saturated fatty acids, occurred in adipOSE tissue.

Nonprotein Nitrogen and Protein Distribution in the Milk of Cows

TL;DR: It might be possible to develop a system to evaluate the dietary protein and energy status of the lactating dairy cow employing milk urea in conjunction with milk true protein.

Effect of dietary lipids on nitrogen metabolism in the rumen: a review

TL;DR: The efficiency of microbial synthesis depends on the nature of fatty acids and is increased especially when organic matter ruminal digestibility is depressed; this can be related to the decrease in protozoa number in the rumen.
