Abstract

A method for treating an animal to reduce body fat while the animal exhibits improved feed efficiency and either continued weight gain or an increase in lean body mass includes the steps of administering to the animal a combination of CLA isomers in a ratio selected to retain a desirable benefit attributable to one isomer while counteracting an undesirable effect of the same isomer.
