Diets for dairy cows that provide or induce formation of trans isomers of polyunsaturated fatty acids result in reduced percentages of milk fat. The effect of abomasal infusion of trans-C18:1 fatty acid isomers on energy utilization by mature cows was determined. Six multiparous Holstein cows in midlactation had ad libitum access to a basal diet containing 50% forage and 50% concentrate. Treatments were 1) no infusion, 2) infusion of 630 g/d of a fat mixture high in cis-C18:1 isomers (64% cis-C18:1 68% high oleic sunflower oil and 32% cocoa butter), and 3) infusion of 623 g/d of a fat mixture high in trans-C18:1 isomers (42% trans-C18:1 90% partially hydrogenate soybean oil and 10% high linoleic safflower oil). The experiment was a replicated 3 x 3 Latin square design with 4-wk periods. Measurements of energy balance were made in open circuit respiration chambers during wk 4 of each period. Fat infusion increased milk production by 2.5 kg/d; apparent digestibility of DM, OM, energy, ADF, and ash by 1 to 4 percentage units; metabolizable energy by 11%; and NEL of the diet by 15%. Milk fat percentage and yield were higher when cows were infused with cis-C18:1 than when they were infused with trans-C18:1 (4.12% and 1.41 kg/d vs. 3.15% and 1.06 kg/d, respectively). Infusion of fat increased milk production, but trans-C18:1 reduced milk fat and energy output.
