Description
Brooke Seelenbinder and three co-authors test, in 2026 work, two fat sources in the feed of milk cows. The fat in feed shapes how much milk fat a cow makes and where her energy goes. The team set one rich soybean source, high in a bent fat, against a shop supplement rich in a straight fat, with a third fat held equal.
Thirty-two cows swapped diets across two short rounds. The soybean diet cut how much cows ate, yet raised milk, milk fat, and milk protein yields. Solids in the milk rose too, and cows gained more weight. One catch showed in the lab: the supplement gave less of its target fat than its label claimed. The team says the source of feed fat matters, not just the amount.
