The present invention relates, inter alia, to vegetative plant parts, such as from a Sorghum sp. and/or a Zea mays plant, which comprise a total fatty acid (TFA) content which comprises fatty acids esterified in the form of triacylglycerols (TAG) and fatty acids in the form of lipids other than TAG, wherein the vegetative plant parts comprise greatly increased levels of TFA, for example a TFA content of about 5% (w/w dry weight). The present invention also relates to the use of the vegetative plant parts as a feedstuff, and/or to produce a feedstuff, for animal consumption. La présente invention concerne, inter alia, des parties végétatives de plantes, telles que Sorghum sp, et/ou une plante Zea mays, qui comprennent une teneur totale en acides gras (TFA) comprenant des acides gras estérifiés sous la forme de triacylglycérols (TAG) et des acides gras sous la forme de lipides autres que les TAG, les parties végétatives de plantes comprenant des niveaux de TFA considérablement accrus, par exemple une teneur en TFA d'environ 5 % (poids sec en poids/poids). La présente invention concerne également l'utilisation des parties végétatives de plantes en tant qu'aliment pour animaux, et/ou pour produire un aliment pour animaux, pour la consommation animale.
