Abstract

After a brief survey of metabolic pathways and nutrient fluxes involved in mammary lipogenesis, this review summarises the known effects of diet on ruminant milk fat composition.Special attention is given to fatty acids that could play a positive role for human health, such as butyric acid, oleic acid, C18 to C22 polyunsaturated fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).The efficiency of the transfer of C18:2, C18:3, C20:5, C22:5 and C22:6, from the duodenum to the milk, is reviewed.The main dietary factors taken into account are the nature of forages, including pasture, and the supplementation of dairy rations with protected or unprotected vegetable or fish oils.Dose-response curves of milk CLA are reviewed for different fat supplements, as well as the non-linear relationship between milk CLA and trans C18:1.The potential of dietary factors to increase the mean CLA content in cow milk fat is about 300% above basal values.There is, however, a need to evaluate how the different feeding strategies could change the other aspects of milk fat quality. ruminant / nutrition / milk / fatty acids / human healthRésumé -Plasticité de la matière grasse du lait de ruminant : contrôle nutritionnel des acides gras saturés, polyinsaturés, trans et conjugués.Après un bref rappel des voies métaboliques et des flux de nutriments qui concourrent à la lipogenèse mammaire, cette revue est consacrée aux principaux effets des facteurs alimentaires sur la composition des lipides du lait de ruminant.Un intérêt particulier est porté aux acides gras qui peuvent avoir des effets positifs sur la santé humaine, tels que les acides butyrique, oléique, linoléique conjugué (CLA) et les acides gras polyinsaturés, de 18 à 22 atomes de carbone.L'efficacité du transfert des C18:2, C18:3, C20:5, C22:5 et C22:6, du duodénum au lait est estimée à partir des données de la bibliographie.Les principaux facteurs alimentaires considérés sont la nature des fourrages, dont l'herbe pâturée, et la supplémentation des rations pour vaches laitières avec des huiles végétales ou de poisson, protégées ou non.L'augmentation potentielle

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
