Methods for reducing the likelihood of embryonic death in a female ruminant by feeding the ruminant for at least 30 days after conception an effective amount of free-flowing fatty acid calcium salt product comprising from about 1 to 10% by weight of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and from about 1 to about 10% by weight of decosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Method for increasing ruminant fertility

Methods for the preparation of storage-stable fatty acid calcium salt products by forming a reactive admixture of (a) an unsaturated fatty acid glyceride feedstock; and (b) from about 10% to about 30% of the total admixture weight of calcium hydroxide; and heating the admixture to a temperature at which the fatty acid glycerides saponify to form fatty acid calcium salts in an atmosphere in which the partial pressure of oxygen has been reduced by an amount effective to provide an improvement in storage stability. Storage stable calcium salts of unsaturated fatty acids prepared by the inventive method are also disclosed.

Calcium salt saponification of polyunsaturated oils

Free-flowing unsaturated fatty acid calcium salts with a fatty acid content consisting essentially of (a) about 40 to about 95 wt % unsaturated C16&#x2013;C22 fatty acids; (b) about 5 to about 60 wt % saturated C14&#x2013;C22 fatty acids; and (c) no more than about 6 wt % moisture, insolubles and unsaponifiables; with no more than about 20 wt % in the form of glycerides; wherein about 40 to about 65 wt % of total product weight is of trans fatty acids and one or more fatty acids selected from C18:2 and C18:3 fatty acids and C20&#x2013;C22 omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Products with about 10 to about 65 wt % of total product weight of CLA's and one or more fatty acids selected from non-conjugated C18:2 and C18:3 fatty acids and C20&#x2013;C22 omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are also disclosed.

Rumen bypass calcium salts of trans and polyunsaturated fatty acids

Free-flowing unsaturated fatty acid calcium salts containing from about 0.1 to about 1.5 equivalents of calcium hydroxide relative to the fatty acid content, with the fatty acid content consisting essentially of
