The Influence of a Low-Fat Diet Upon Fat Metabolism During Lactation

(From the Laboratory of Animal Nutrition, Cornell University, Ithaca)

Experiments to determine the influence of food lipids upon the milk secreted, have been carried out employing the cow and goat as experimental animals. A ration from which most of the fat had been extracted produced a marked lowering in the volume of milk secreted without any significant alteration in its fat content. The fat secreted in the milk upon a low-fat ration, had a lower iodine number then that produced upon a normal ration. The decreasing milk secretion on the low-fat diet was accompanied by a gradual decrease in the blood lipids.
