ABSTRACT
Milk samples from individual cows selected to represent various stages of lactation were analyzed monthly over a year by the alkali isonlerization speetrophotometrie and lipoxidase procedures for their polyunsaturated fatty acid content. Linoleate was found to decrease during the first few months oflactation. Other polyunsaturated fatty acids did not vary with stage of lactation. Linoleate decreased when the cows were put on pasture. Nonconjugated trienoate and conjugated dienoate increased when the cows were on pasture.
