Abstract

Lysophospholipids (LPL) are very important for the needs of the cells of living organisms: because they are an essential structural component of the cells, as well as their main role in providing the energy needed by the intestinal epithelial cells. Due to low secretion of bile salts, dairy calves do not make maximum use of fat in their diet, so adding fat emulsifiers in feeding calves is very necessary. In adult ruminants, LPL improves the performance of cattle and sheep. Many studies have shown improved quality of milk and meat produced from cattle and sheep, as LPL allow ruminants to consume a balanced diet that meets all nutritional requirements. Therefore, it stabilizes the rumen environment by reducing changes in rumen pH and improving rumen fermentation, without weight loss during the lactation period and the occurrence of acidosis. In this review article, in addition to the important role of LPL in the metabolism of fats, proteins, and minerals, the studies conducted on the effect of LPL in ruminant nutrition were reviewed.
