Rumen Transformations of Lipid Review of Dietary Lipid • Fatty acids are most important lipid fraction. • Majority of fatty acids are bound to glycerol as simple or compound lipids. • Majority of fatty acids are unsaturated.
Rumen Transformations of Lipid Learning Objectives • What happens to dietary lipid as it passes from the diet to the intestines and is metabolized by rumen microorganisms? • What are the intermediates and end products that accumulate in the rumen from lipid metabolism? • How does lipid transformations in the rumen affect animal performance?

Rumen Transformations of Lipid Impact of Rumen Lipid Metabolism • Affects human health • Meat and milk higher in saturated fat • Bioactive metabolites • Anti-carcinogenic • Anti-atherogenic • Enhance immune system
Rumen Transformations of Lipid Impact of Rumen Lipid Metabolism • Affects animal performance • Supply of essential fatty acids– reproduction • Fatty acid antimicrobial effects–production • Bioactive metabolites • Milk fat depression
