MILK FAT % is economically important, but what if some of this goes to BODY FAT?: Metabolic HEALTH

De Souza et al. (2018) found that the calcium salts of fatty acids treatment increased digestibility, energy allocated to body reserves (0.60 Mcal/d), energy partitioning toward body reserves (1.20 percentage units), and body condition score change (0.06 units), and tended to increase body weight change (0.16 kg/d) and body condition score (0.08 units) compared with Triglycierdes high in palmitic acid Remind that BODY CONDITION means METABOLIC HEALTH and "CLOSER" FERTILITY.
