Abstract "Adding fat to dairy rations can affect productive efficiency of dairy cows through a combination of caloric and non caloric effects. Caloric effects are attributable to greater energy content and energetic efficiency for utilization of lipids compared to carbohydrate or protein. Non caloric effects are caused by benefits from added fat that are not directly attributable to its energy content."
