Summary

The effects on rumen fermentation and milk-fat secretion of a dietary supplement of protected tallow given to 4 Friesian cows established on a low-roughage ration and with depressed milk fat is reported. The ratios of acetate to propionate in the rumen were unaffected by the supplement and remained typical of those associated with low-roughage diets in that the proportion of propionate was increased. The supplement produced almost complete recoveries in yield and content of milk fat without any increase in intramammary fatty-acid synthesis. The recoveries were due to transfer of about 20% of the total fatty acids of the tallow supplement. These results are discussed in relation to the effects of low-roughage diets on milk-fat secretion and it is concluded that in the ‘low-fat syndrome’ the capacity of the mammary gland to absorb preformed fatty acids is not impaired.
