Abstract: The present invention relates to a feed which has a relatively high total fat percentage and which contains inside and on the surface of feed raw material particles a fatty acid mixture rich in saturated free fatty acids. The invention is also directed to a process for preparing said feed, to a method for increasing concentrations of protein and fat in milk and for increasing milk production of a lactating animal.

Abstract: An object of this invention is milk wherein the concentrations of paltimoleic acid and/oleic acid are higher than in traditional milk. At the same time the amounts of trans fatty acids and C6-C12 saturated fatty acids are lower than in traditional milk. The invention also relates to food products which contain the milk according to the invention or part of it. The milk according to the invention has been produced by a process wherein to a lactating animal is given a feed which contains inside and on the surface of feed raw material particles a fatty acid mixture wherein the content of saturated fatty acids is over 90%.
