Implication

Supplementing dairy cows with calcium salts of palm oil or encapsulated fatty acids improves milk yield, suggesting dietary fat impacts milk composition.

Key Points

Fat supplementation increased milk yield significantly, with cows on encapsulated fatty acids producing the most milk per day.
Data revealed that dry matter digestibility was unaffected, but ether extract intake and digestibility improved with fat supplementation.
Mixed models analyzed treatment effects, showing that both calcium salts of palm oil and encapsulated fatty acids offer similar benefits in production.
Supplementing cows with either fat source enhanced unsaturated fatty acid concentrations in milk without altering overall digestibility.
