Summary(1). A study is reported on the effects of 4 levels of coconut oil, added to a basal diet low in fat, on the secretion in cow's milk of fat and its component fatty acids. (2) A significant reduction in the yield of milk fat occurred at the highest level of supplementation. In terms of individual fatty acids the yields of lauric and myristic acids increased progressively with increased intake, maximum yields being obtained with the 7% level of coconut oil. Conversely the yields of caproic, caprylic, capric and palmitic acids progressively decreased with increased coconut oil intake. The yields of C18 acids were unchanged.
