Forage: concentrate ratio is also an important factor. If more forage more propionic acid and hence increased fat. Also lactic acidosis do affect fat percentage

Also the length of the fiber affects (if long fiber increased fat percentage)

Good article about factors affecting milk composition of lactating cows. I want to know Wine and beer byproducts like Rice bran. Can malt in regular diet influence in increasing fat percentage in yielding milk? If yes, how and what should be the quantity to be given the two by products ( pl mention in kilogram ) to cattle having av. wt 250 kg?

How can we increase the milk fat content in a milking cow? One of my cross bread jercy cow's fat content is 1.7% to 2.2% only ( lactometer reading 30) in the morning. Please respond.

sir, this clearly shows that you are feeding more of grains than fodders. to increase the fat% of the milk increase the dry fodder and reduce the grains in the feed. when you are feeding more of fibre content in the feed it will lead to increase of mastication which will lead to increase of fat% in your milk.

Numerous sources of fat in the diet can affect milk fat content and fatty acid composition.

Age of cow can affect in the quantity of milk and rate of fats

I think Mycotoxin, Mycotoxicosis also contribute to change in milk composition, Specially on Fat%.
