Abstract
The proportion of MCFA in milk fat was lowest for Holstein, highest fo r Jersey, and intermediate for Brown Swiss cows. Proportions of SCFA ( C4:0 to C8:0) and LCFA (> 18 C) did not differ among breeds. Differenc es in fatty acid composition among breeds were small, but could contri bute to differences in manufacturing properties of milk fat.
