Abstract
This invention provides a feedstock for ruminants which beneficially improves feed efficiency and body growth. The feedstock also is adapted to improve the lactational performance of dairy cattle. The recovered milk product has a milk fat profile with an increased proportion of unsaturated fatty acid constituents. The enhanced benefits exhibited by an invention feedstock are derived from essential ingredients such as unsaturated fatty acid derivative having rumen-bypass properties, and an effective additive quantity of cyclic polyether ionophorous antibiotic.
