Seasonal variation in health-relevant fatty acids in milk across production systems

Caption

Stacked bar graph showing seasonal amounts of branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA), conjugated linoleic acids (CLA), omega-3 fatty acids, and omega-6 fatty acids per serving of 3.25%-fat milk (1 cup; 240 mL) across production systems: organic grass-fed, organic, non-organic pasture-based, and conventional. Stacked bars represent the combined amount of these fatty acids, while individual segments indicate the contribution of each fatty acid group.
