Summary in the original language of the document
Nutritional regulation of milk and meat fatty acid composition has been the subject of
intense research during the last few decades. Considerable progress has been made
towards understanding the role of diet on enhancing the nutritional value of ruminantderived
foods while more recent studies have attempted to elucidate the molecular
mechanisms underlying the changes in milk and tissue lipid fatty acid composition in
ruminants. Diet is the major environmental factor influencing the CLA content of
ruminant milk whilst the effects of genotype, stage of lactation and parity are
relatively minor (Palmquist el al. 2005). Concentrations of CLA in ruminant meat are
dependent on diet, gender, slaughter weight and breed with evidence of variable
enrichment between tissues.
