The effect of supplement bile acids on blood metabolites and rumen fermentation parameters of dairy goats fed starch-rich diets (n = 9). A Blood metabolite. B Rumen fermentation parameters. C Correlations between the milk FAs with blood metabolites. HS means fed starch-rich diet, HSB means fed starch-rich diet supply 4 g/d bile acids for dairy goats every day. TBA Total bile acid, TG Triglycerides, CHOL Cholesterol, GLU Glucose, SFA Saturated fatty acids, MUFA Monounsaturated fatty acids, PUFA Polyunsaturated fatty acids. De novo, preformed, and mixed De novo (FAs < 16 C) originates from de novo synthesis in the mammary gland, preformed (FAs > 16 C) originates from plasma, and mixed (FAs = 16 C) originate from both sources. ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01
