Abstract
IN the course of an investigation of the effect of diet on the synthesis of milk fat in the cow, we observed values for the concentration of triglycerides in the blood plasma of cows of the Friesian breed some of which were much lower than the few values available in the literature for lactating Ayrshire1, Friesian2 and Jersey3 cattle. We decided, therefore, to make a preliminary examination of the distribution of the major fractions of lipids in the blood plasma of cows of the Friesian breed, and also, for comparative purposes, of several cows of the Channel Island (Jersey and Guernsey) breeds which have a characteristically higher fat content in their milk.
