Factors affecting odd- and branched-chain fatty acids in milk: A review (2006, background): “As fish oil or marine algae were reported to shift rumen fermentation to increased rumen propionate production (Fievez et al., 2003a, submitted for publication; Shingfield et al., 2003), an increased concentration of linear odd-chain fatty acids could have been expected in the milk, but this has…”
Mitigation of ruminant methane production: current strategies, constraints and future options (2008, background): “Addition of oils to ruminant diets may decrease methane emission by up to 80% in vitro (Fievez et al. 2003) and about 25% in vivo (Machmüller et al.”
Influence of different dietary forages on the fatty acid composition of rumen digesta as well as ruminant meat and milk (2008, background): “This possible mechanism is analogous to protection of lipids against rumen biohydrogenation through formaldehyde treatment of proteins as described by Gulati et al. (2005). The PPO enzyme occurs in red clover species as well as in other plant species such as the grasses Lolium perenne and L.”
