Abstract
Direct transesterification of feedstuffs, browse plants, and ruminal bacter ia was compared to transesterification of solvent extracted lipids. Weight percentages were of similar magnitude between procedures. Direct transester ification often produced higher concentrations of fatty acids. Results indi cate that direct transesterification is an acceptable method for analysis o f total fatty acids.
