Palmitic Acid 80 - Rumen Bypass Fat also known as rumen-protected fat, is a dietary supplement widely used in animal nutrition, particularly for ruminants such as dairy cows. It is formulated to supply supplemental energy in the form of fats or fatty acids that bypass the rumen and are instead digested and absorbed directly in the small intestine.
By improving the energy balance in dairy cows, rumen bypass fat can enhance milk production and reproductive performance. It may also contribute to better overall body condition in cows.
Rumen bypass fat is commonly used as a high-energy supplement in early lactation diets for both cows and sheep.
Palmitic Acid C16-80 is from 100% Natural Tropical Vegetable Palm Oil origin and Kosher certified.

Ruminant animals, such as cows, have a unique digestive system that includes a specialized stomach chamber called the rumen, where microbial fermentation of feed occurs. However, this fermentation process can be inefficient at breaking down dietary fats. Rumen bypass fat is used to deliver a concentrated energy source that escapes rumen fermentation and instead reaches the small intestine, where it can be absorbed more efficiently.
Composition : Rumen bypass fats are typically composed of various fatty sources, including vegetable oils, animal fats, or synthetic fats. These fats are treated or coated to resist microbial digestion in the rumen, ensuring they remain intact until they reach the small intestine.
Energy Source : The primary purpose of incorporating rumen bypass fat into ruminant diets is to boost energy intake. This is especially important for dairy cows, which require high energy levels to sustain optimal milk production.
Rumen-protected fats made from 100% vegetable sources are used to improve milk yield, enhance fertility, and reduce body weight loss in dairy cattle. This high-energy fat serves as a crucial link between increased milk production and limited feed intake.
It is developed using premium palm oil sources and is specifically formulated as an energy supplement for cattle feed.
