Abstract
Uptake of free fatty acids (FFA), triglycerides (TG), cholesterol (CHOL) and phospholipids (PL) was measured in both mammary glands of dairy goats during lactation. Arterial concentrations of TG, CHOL and PL as well as arterio-venous difference (AV) and extraction rate (E) for TG were highest in goats with the highest dietary feed intake. AV were linearly related to arterial concentrations for the four lipid classes, and arterial concentrations of CHOL were linearly related to output of lactose, protein and fat in milk. Arterial supply, and not mammary synthetic activity, is the main determinant of mammary FFA, TG and CHOL uptake.Keywords
