Similar experiments were conducted supplementing fish oil in the diet of cows. Milk from multiparons Holstein cows supplanented with 2% added menhaden oil contained higher concentrations of CLA, vaccenic acid, and total unsaturated fatty acids than the milk from controls whose ration consisted of a 50 50 ratio of forage to concentrate (2.51 v. 0.68 6.28 vs. 1.42 and 41.71 vs. 30.47 g/100 g of fat, respectively). Butter made from a high-CLA content milk inherently had... 

Superior, Michigan, and Huron. Biomagnification factors (BMF, the ratio of the concentration of TCDD-equivalents in bird eggs to concentrations in forage fish) were found to range from 11.7 to 56.8 (mean, 31.3). In another study, all of the CDDs and CDFs detected in double-crested cormorant and Caspian tem eggs were 2,3,7,8-substituted (Yamashita et al. 1992). Concentrations of 2,3,7,8-TCDD,... 

An example of an industrial spray-drying system where the combined sorption-spray drying is applied for manufacturing of forage lysine-based concentrates is shown in Figure 12.16. As reported by Tutova and Kuts (1987), introduction of wheat bran directly into the spray cone of dispersed lysine (with the mass ratio of 0.7 to 1.0 kg of bran/kg of dry lysine) markedly improved the product quahty. In particular, the following features were claimed ...
