Fat Supplementation on Synthesis of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) in Ruminant

Abstract

Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLA) are linoleic acids’ isomer. Two most common types are cis9, tran11- Octadecadienoic acid and tran10, cis12 - Octadecadienoic acid. The nutrition found that CLA, particular CLA of goat milk is a fatty acid that is high value of human’s health. The consumption of goat milk with a major CLA combination will be healthy. The health got more CLA by eating foods, or drinking milk with high CLA from adding CAL in animal feed. Researches found that ruminants receiving fresh grass will increase CLA in milk. To use linseed oil and sunflower oil mixed in feed. It affects more CLA in fat’s milk. Supplementing linseed oil in feed, the percentage of linolenic acid and isomer cis-9, trans-11 of milk greatly. Also, to use of sunflower oil effects to enlarged linoleic, trans-vaccenic, and cis-9, trans-11 CLA (rumenic acids) of milk. Therefore, milk production of ruminants with high CLA can be able to choose materials with high CLA is feed ingredient.
