Abstract

Variations in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) concentrations in Holstein dairy cows milk, depending on feeding systems in different seasons was investigated. Milk samples were collected from Holstein dairy cows, which either grazed for whole days (WG), only daylight hours (TG), or were offered a total mixed ration (TMR) and experienced no grazing (NG), from April to December of 2005. In April, November and December, the cows in TG and WG treatments received grass silage and some concentrate, while from May to October, the cows grazed on temperate pasture. The cows in NG treatment received the TMR throughout the season. The major fatty acid obtained in the pastures was linolenic acid. There was no significant difference in the pasture's linolenic acid concentrations from May to September, but there was a significant decrease in October. However, the linolenic acid concentrations obtained in the pasture were always much higher than those obtained from the TMR. Linoleic acid was also the major fatty acid in the TMR, but these concentrations were higher in the TMR than in the pasture. There was no significant difference in milk cis9trans11CLA (c9t11CLA) concentrations between the three feeding systems while the cows were fed on conserved pasture in April, November and December. Although c9t11CLA concentrations were lower in the TMR, it was found that the cows which grazed in fresh pasture experienced significantly higher concentrations of c9t11CLA in their milk than those which received only TMR. It was also found that cows in the WG treatment experienced higher c9t11CLA concentrations than those in the TG treatment. In the WG and TG treatments, c9t11CLA concentrations were highest in June, after which, they gradually decreased (p<0.01) until October. For the NG treatment, there was no significant change in the concentrations of c9t11CLA (p>0.05) with season. Overall, trans11C18:1 and c9t11CLA were greatly influenced by season, with higher variation in the WG treatment than in the TG treatment and no variation in the NG treatment.
