The effect of fish meal or pea meal
on milk fatty acid composition in organic farming

Fish meal and pea meal in combination with cereals were formulated to be isonitrogeneous and isoenergetic (NEL) and compared at high (HC) and low concentrate level (LC) in a continuous production experiment with dairy cows in organic farming. Fish meal resulted in significantly higher milk yield (kg) with a lower fat concentration (HC) compared to pea meal. The proportions of oleic acid, vaccenic acid, CLA (LC), DHA, and total long-chain unsaturated fatty acids were significantly higher, and the n-6/n-3 ratio was significantly lower (HC) in milk fat produced on fish meal compared with pea meal. The sensoric quality of milk was not affected.
