Abomasal infusions of linoleic and linolenic acid in lactating dairy cows differentially alter the fatty acid composition of plasma lipid fractions and immune cells

The balance of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids (FA) in immune system tissues can influence the degree of inflammatory responses in dairy cattle. Linoleic acid (C18:2 n-6) and linolenic acid (C18:3 n-3) are the most abundant n-6 and n-3 FA in lactating dairy cow rations, and are associated with pro-inflammat...
