Intestinal digestibility of total long-chain
fatty acids was high and nonsignificantly
different between diets: 80.2 + 2.8% for the
control diet and 86.1 + 4.8% for the milk diet
(Table 4). As for total fatty acids, the C~s fatty
acid digestibility was high (>80%) and nonsignificantly
different between diets. But with the
milk diet, the digestibility of C16 fatty acids
(C16:0 = 86.9%, C16:1 = 76.4%), odd-chain
(82.1%) and branched-chain (76.0%) fatty
acids, partly or totally from microbial origin,
were 17.4% (P
