Milk <strong>and</strong> dairy products are the bestnatural sources <strong>of</strong> CLA <strong>and</strong> mainly contain a cis9, trans11-isomer originating in therumen <strong>of</strong> ruminants during biological biohydrogenation <strong>of</strong> linoleic <strong>and</strong> linolenic acidoriginating from vegetable feeds (5).Carbohydrates <strong>and</strong> fats ingested by animals via food are very important for forming <strong>fatty</strong><strong>acids</strong> in milk (37, 40). In food, carbohydrates are found in the form <strong>of</strong> structuralcarbohydrates (cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin), sugars, <strong>and</strong> starch. Fodders such as hay,straw <strong>and</strong> silage contain relatively high quantities <strong>of</strong> structural carbohydrates, <strong>and</strong> theirdigestion in the digestive tract depends to a high extent on the fodder itself (hay isdigested to a higher extent than straw), <strong>and</strong> this is important for the presence <strong>of</strong> milk fatin milk (37, 38, 29). Sugars <strong>and</strong> starch (nonstructural carbohydrates), which dominate inseeds, can also be converted to milk fat by disintegration to butyric acid (39). Fattysubstances that are not degraded in the rumen (protected fats), <strong>and</strong> are absorbed in thesmall intestine <strong>of</strong> goats can also be used for this purpose.DIETARY FACTORS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON CLACONTENT IN MILK FATMilk fat is the richest natural source <strong>of</strong> conjugated linoleic acid with a content rangingfrom 2.4 to 28.1 mg/g, however with a very pronounced seasonal variation, <strong>and</strong> with asummer concentration which is 2 to 3 times higher than in winter months (25).The typical composition <strong>of</strong> milk fat, depending on the source <strong>of</strong> fat in the ration, as wellas the content <strong>of</strong> <strong>fatty</strong> <strong>acids</strong> <strong>and</strong> CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) in various fat sources arepresented in Table 1.Table 1.
