Palmitic Acid 98 - Rumen Bypass Fat, also known as rumen bypass fat or rumen-protected fat, is a dietary supplement widely used in animal nutrition, particularly for ruminant animals such as dairy cows. It is formulated to provide supplemental energy in the form of fats or fatty acids that bypass the rumen and are digested and absorbed directly in the small intestine.
Rumen bypass fat helps improve the energy balance of dairy cows, which can enhance both milk production and reproductive performance.
It may also contribute to improved body condition in cows. Palmitic Acid 98 is commonly used as a supplement to increase energy supply in early lactation diets for both cows and sheep.
Palmitic Acid C16-98 is from 100% Natural Tropical Vegetable Palm Oil origin and Kosher certified.

Ruminant animals, such as cows, have a unique digestive system with a specialized stomach chamber called the rumen, where microbial fermentation of feed occurs. This fermentation process can be inefficient at breaking down dietary fats. Rumen bypass fat is used to provide a concentrated source of energy that resists extensive fermentation in the rumen, allowing it to pass into the small intestine for more efficient digestion and absorption.
Composition : Rumen bypass fats are typically made from various fats or fatty acids, including vegetable oils, animal fats, or synthetic fats. These fats are treated or coated to make them resistant to microbial digestion in the rumen.
Energy Source : The primary purpose of including rumen bypass fat in the diet of ruminants is to increase their energy intake. This is especially important for dairy cows, which require high energy levels to support milk production.
Rumen-protected fats made from 100% vegetable fat sources are used to improve milk production, enhance fertility, and minimize body weight loss in dairy cattle. This high-energy fat provides the crucial link between increased milk production and limited feed intake.
This fat is developed using the most optimal palm oil sources as an energy supplement for cattle feed.
