The fatty acid (FA) profile of ghee produced from milk cattle–yak hybrids grazing five mountain pasture sites along a high-alpine transhumance route in Nepal was analysed. Pastures differed altitude above sea level (2600–4500 m), time period being grazed and phytochemical composition the swards. Additionally, comparison purebred yak hybrid performed, with samples at two sites. Pasture site had strong effect on almost all FAs. Proportions oleic, linoleic α-linolenic were smallest highest 4500...
