METHOD OF INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF PROTEINS AND/OR LIPIDS IN THE MILK OF A LACTATING RUMINANT

摘要

The invention relates to a method of increasing the amount of proteins and/or lipids as provided by a lactating ruminant via milk, comprising the step of feeding the ruminant between 0.05 and 15 grams per kg body weight and per day of carbohydrates that are soluble, slowly fermentable in the stomach of the ruminant, and digestible and optionally fermentable in the intestines of the ruminant. The said carbohydrates preferably contain isomaltulose and/or trehalulose.
