Abstract
A feedstock and a method of utility are provided for increasing the content of unsaturated fatty acids in the tissues and milk of ruminants. A preferred feedstock is composed of a fodder substrate which is blended with an unsaturated aliphatic amide ingredient such as soyamide. The unsaturated aliphatic amide is biohydrogenation-resistant, and bypasses the rumen substantially intact. The aliphatic amide is converted to free fatty acid in the digestive tract, and subsequently is absorbed in the tissues and milk of the ruminant.
