Effect of Feeding Protected Fat on the Blood Metabolites in Buffaloes

Manipulations in the rumen fermentation to prevent hydrolysis or biohydrogenation of fat has been found to affect the nature of fat entering the lower tract of the alimentary canal. This in turn, could affect the pattern of fat digestion and absorption. Since reports emanating in recent years have recognised the significance of altered level of blood lipids it was deemed fit to study the changes in blood metabolites of buffaloes after feeding them protected fat.
