Relations between feces, urine, milk and blood fatty acid contents in cattle

Abstract

The various fatty acids found in the circulation, cells and tissues of animals that have an important place in the feeding of animals are important components of cell membranes related to events that occur in a rich source of energy and cells. Since the fatty acids groups having important functions can not be synthesized by the mammalian cells, they must be taken from the outside of the body. Fatty acids detected in blood, feces, milk and urine can be an indicator to diagnose some metabolic disorders. This study was conducted to investigate the correlation between fecal matter, urine, milk and blood fatty acid contents in Holstein cows by multiple regression analysis. As a result, milk, blood, stool and urine fatty acid contents were statistically significantly related to each other (p <0.01).
