Dairy cows in early or mid-lactation were offered naked oatsor barley-based concentrates in addition to ad libitum access to grass silage in a continuous design experiment of 10 weeks duration. Concentrates were formulated on an isonitrogenous basis and contained either 500 g barley or 565 g naked o

✦ Synopsis
Oxidative stability of milk fats from cows o †ered naked oats-and barley-based diets were compared in shelf-life tests using the Schaal Oven Test at 63¡C, and determination of peroxide and thiobarbituric acid values. Milk fat from cows o †ered the diet containing naked oats, although containing a higher proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids, had a signiÐcantly longer oxidation induction period (13 days) than milk fat from cows o †ered the control (barleybased) diet (9 days). However, sensory testing of the milk fats indicated that a perceptible odour di †erence was apparent between stored (63¡C) and unstored milk fats after 3 days of storage irrespective of the diet fed. It is possible that the odours perceived may have originated from the cowsÏ diets or from hydrolytic rancidity reactions. The difficulties of relating chemical and sensory testing of the oxidative deterioration of milk fat or butter are underlined.
