Targeted Fatty Acid Supplementation

January 30, 2023 | Fatty Acids, Milk Components, Oleic, Palmitic, Transition

Get Results with Targeted Fatty Acids “A bag of fat is not just a bag of fat,” says Michigan State’s Dr. Adam Lock. “You cannot know what to expect from feeding it without — at minimum — knowing its fatty acid profile.” Recent research shows positive results in the transition period and carry-over into peak lactation with targeted feeding of palmitic (C16:0) and oleic (C18:1) acid blends.
