Serum lipidomic profiling of dairy calves fed milk replacers containing animal or vegetable fats.

Randomized Controlled Trial

Animal

2024 Nov

Scientists fed baby cows two different kinds of milk substitutes — one with animal fat and one with plant fat — and found that their blood fats looked very different, especially in important types like phosphatidylcholine and triglycerides. This proves the type of fat in their food really changes their body’s fat profile.
