#$%^&*AU2006200647B220121206.pdf#####ABSTRACT This invention provides methods for improving reproductive performance of lactating dairy cows and other mammals. The method in the case of cows comprises feeding to the cows, a composition comprising conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs), cis-9, trans-. I and trans5 10, cis-12. When these CLAs are fed daily to dairy cows starting at or prior to calving, and continued after parturition, an improvement in reproductive performance is observed. BFLODOCS 1463499 v i 10 -16-
