Multivariate modelling of milk fatty acid profile to discriminate the forages in dairy cows’ ration

Abstract Although there are many studies on the importance of fatty acids (FA) in our diet and on the influence of dairy diets on FA metabolism, only a few investigate their predictive capacity to discriminate the type, amount and conservation method of farm forages. This research quantifies differe...
