Abstract:Ryegrass (Latium sp.) , treated with HCHO (formaldehyde) after drying, was incubated with rumen fluid to examine the effect of HCHO treatment on biohydrogenation of the constituent unsaturated fatty acids. Increased levels of HCHO treatment in the range 0.5 to 2.0 g/100 g dried grass gave increasing protection of 18:3 from biohydrogenation and there was a maximum of about 85% 18:3 remaining unhydrogenated after 24-h incubations. Incubations using untreated grass converted most of the 18:3 to 18:1. Despite thes… Show more
