The Ruminal Microbiome Alterations Associated with Diet-Induced Milk Fat Depression and Milk Fat Globule Size Reduction in Dairy Goats.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on milk fat globule (MFG) size and the ruminal microbiome of goats. Twenty-four mid-lactation Saanen dairy goats weighing 49 ± 4.5 kg (168 ± 27 d in milk, 1.

Is milk fat globule size correlated with milk fat content in Ruminants?

In milk, fat exists in the form of milk fat globules (MFGs). The average size (average fat globules of different particle sizes) is the most common parameter when describing MFG size. There are different views on whether there is a correlation between MFG size and milk fat content.
