2006•cabidigitallibrary.orgThis chapter outlines the biosynthesis of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in ruminants. The
possible mechanisms to explain the presence of the myriad of trans, cis and CLA fatty acids
in rumen and milk fat are described. The process of linoleic acid biohydrogenation by
microbial enzymes in the rumen, the fatty acid isomers originating from biohydrogenation,
and the pathways and enzymes of biohydrogenation are discussed.
