日粮中添加油料籽实对奶牛生产性能及乳脂脂肪酸组成的影响

本文旨在研究在日粮中添加油料籽实对中国荷斯坦奶牛乳脂肪酸组成及生产性能的影响,为提高奶牛乳脂中共轭哑油酸(CLA)含量,改善乳品质寻找合适的途径.试验选取16头泌乳前期(62±11)d、胎次一致(3胎)、泌乳量相近的中国荷斯坦奶牛,随机分为4组(对照组、菜籽组、亚麻籽组、葵花籽组),每组4头.试验共进行40 d(预试期10 d,正试期30 d),分别在正试期第1天、第15天和第30天测定乳产量、分析乳成分,用气相色谱仪分析乳脂肪酸组成.结果表明,与对照组相比,日粮中添加油料籽实,显著提高了奶牛的泌乳性能(P<0.05),降低了乳脂率(P<0.05),对乳中其他常规成分影响差异不显著(P>0.05);日粮中添加葵花籽后乳脂中CLA含量提高98.28%(P<0.05).菜籽组、亚麻籽组、葵花籽组的乳脂中C14:0和C16:0的含量分别比对照组降低了17.86%和26.75%、15.99%和27.18%、21.99%和21.74%.乳脂中多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)含量分别比对照组提高40.83%、47.06%和41.52%(P<0.05).乳脂中的t11-C18:1(x)与CLA(y)的比例(%)存在正相关性,y=0.34x 0.20,R<'=0.696 2(P<0.01).日粮中添加植物油籽显著提高了乳脂中CLA、PUFA的比例,降低了C14:0和C16:0的比例,改善了乳脂的构成,提高了乳品质.     

不同植物油对奶牛瘤胃液、血浆中脂肪酸及乳脂中共轭亚油酸组成的影响

为改善牛奶脂肪酸构成,提高乳脂中CLA含量,研究瘤胃液、血浆和乳脂中脂肪酸的代谢规律,探寻提高乳品质的合适途径,本试验以3头装有永久性瘤胃瘘管的经产荷斯坦奶牛为试验动物,采用3×3拉丁方设计,研究向日粮中添加不同植物油(即葵花油、亚麻油、菜籽油,3种日粮的粗脂肪含量基本相同)对奶牛瘤胃液、血浆中脂肪酸及乳脂中CLA的影响。结果表明:(1)日粮中添加3种不同植物油,葵花油组、亚麻油组乳脂中的CLA比例均显著高于菜籽油组(P<0.05),且以葵花油组最高;乳脂中PUFA的比例则是亚麻油组显著高于菜籽油组(P<0.05);(2)3组间血浆中C14∶0、C16∶0、C18∶0的比例差异不显著(P>0.05),菜籽油组C18∶1的比例显著高于亚麻油组和葵花油组(P<0.05),而后两组差异不显著(P>0.05),亚麻油组和葵花油组t11-C18∶1的比例与菜籽油组间差异均达到显著水平(P<0.05),亚麻油组和菜籽油组中C18∶2的比例差异显著(P<0.05);(3)采食添加不同植物油日粮后,瘤胃液中各种脂肪酸动态变化的平均值差异不显著(P>0.05)。总的趋势是随着时间的延长,饱和脂肪酸含量逐渐增加,而不饱和脂肪酸含量逐渐减少。瘤胃液中CLA的比例不同时间点均较低。由本研究可知,在优化奶牛乳脂肪酸构成提高CLA含量方面,以葵花油效果最好。     

日粮添加油葵籽和亚麻籽对奶牛乳脂CLA和脂肪酸组成的影响

本文主要研究了奶牛日粮添加植物油籽引起原料乳脂肪酸组成情况及CLA含量变化的影响,初步探讨改善牛奶脂肪酸构成、提高乳脂中CLA含量的途径.选取45头泌乳期荷斯坦牛,分为3组,以不添加油籽为对照组,以添加油葵籽和亚麻籽作为两个试验处理组,采用完全随机试验设计,测定乳脂中脂肪酸含量.结果显示,日粮中添加油葵籽和亚麻籽实能显著提高乳脂中CLA、EPA、DHA和PUFA的含量(P＜0.05),降低月桂酸(C12:0)、棕榈酸(C16:0)、硬酯酸(C18:0)等饱和脂肪酸水平,多不饱和与饱和脂肪酸(PUFA/SFA)之比显著高于对照组(P＜0.05),分别提高92.32％和36.37％.乳脂中CLA(c9t11t,10t12c)比例油葵籽和亚麻籽两个处理组依次比对照组提高了161.01％ (P＜0.05)和53.18％ (P＜0.05)；油葵籽组的EPA、DHA含量分别较对照组提高80.91％和196.20％,亚麻籽组的EPA、DHA含量分别较对照组提高143.32％和255.84％.日粮中添加植物油料籽实,优化了乳脂肪酸的构成,油葵籽对乳脂中CLA的提高效果比亚麻籽更好.     

苜蓿及油料籽实对奶牛生产性能和乳脂肪酸组成的影响

选择9头中国荷斯坦奶牛,研究添加富含亚麻酸和亚油酸的油料籽实及苜蓿对乳脂肪酸中共轭亚油酸(CLA)和其他不饱和脂肪酸含量的影响,并探讨不饱和脂肪酸的代谢规律。采用3×3拉丁方试验设计,每阶段试验期为1个月。3个处理组分别为:(1)基础日粮(对照组);(2)基础日粮中部分粗饲料和精料由苜蓿和整粒亚麻籽替代(亚麻籽组);(3)基础日粮中部分粗饲料和精料由苜蓿和破碎大豆替代(大豆组)。各组日粮中的粗蛋白、粗脂肪和纤维含量相似。结果表明:(1)添加苜蓿、亚麻籽或大豆对奶牛生产性能的影响各组差异不显著(P>0.05)。各组产奶量、乳脂率和乳蛋白含量均无明显差异(P>0.05);(2)添加苜蓿、亚麻籽或大豆显著提高了乳脂中CLA和其他不饱和脂肪酸含量(P<0.05)。乳脂中CLA含量各组依次为7.08、10.18和12.01 mg/g总脂肪酸(TFA),C18∶2含量依次为13.35、16.41和24.62 mg/g TFA,C18∶3含量依次为1.55、4.62和4.52 mg/g TFA;(3)添加大豆提高乳脂中CLA和不饱和脂肪酸的效果好于亚麻籽,但添加亚麻籽得到最低的Omega-6/Omega-3值。     

不同油料籽实对奶牛瘤胃代谢及养分表观消化率的影响

试验以3头荷斯坦奶牛为研究对象,采用3×3拉丁方设计,探讨日粮中添加不同油料籽实(日粮脂肪含量均为6.5%)对奶牛瘤胃内纤毛虫数量、pH值、NH3N和菌体蛋白浓度动态变化、干物质采食量及养分表观消化率的影响。3种籽实分别为葵花籽、胡麻籽、菜籽。结果表明:日粮中添加不同的油料籽实对奶牛瘤胃液纤毛虫数量动态变化影响差异不显著(P>0.05);对瘤胃液pH值动态变化影响差异不显著(P>0.05),且数值均在瘤胃发酵的正常范围之内;瘤胃液NH3N浓度动态变化3组之间差异不显著(P>0.05);对菌体蛋白浓度的影响差异不显著(P>0.05);对奶牛干物质采食量的影响差异不显著(P>0.05);对奶牛干物质表观消化率、中性洗涤纤维表观消化率的影响差异不显著(P>0.05);粗脂肪和粗蛋白的表观消化率均为葵花籽组较高,与其他2组相比差异显著(P<0.05),葵花籽组粗脂肪和粗蛋白的表观消化率分别为62.56%、64.92%,胡麻籽组和菜籽组的粗脂肪和粗蛋白表观消化率较低,但差异不显著(P>0.05)。     

不同油料籽实对奶牛瘤胃代谢及养分表现消化率的影响

试验以3头荷斯坦奶牛为研究对象,采用3×3拉丁方设计,探讨日粮中添加不同油料籽实(日粮脂肪含量均为6.5%)对奶牛瘤胃内纤毛虫数量、pH值、NH3-N和菌体蛋白浓度动态变化、干物质采食量及养分表观消化率的影响.3种籽实分别为葵花籽、胡麻籽、菜籽.结果表明:日粮中添加不同的油料籽实对奶牛瘤胃液纤毛虫数量动态变化影响差异不显著(P＞0.05);对瘤胃液pH值动态变化影响差异不显著(P＞0.05),且数值均在瘤胃发酵的正常范围之内;瘤胃液NH3-N浓度动态变化3组之间差异不显著(P＞0.05);对菌体蛋白浓度的影响差异不显著(P＞0.05);对奶牛干物质采食量的影响差异不显著(P＞0.05);对奶牛干物质表观消化率、中性洗涤纤维表观消化率的影响差异不显著(P＞0.05);粗脂肪和粗蛋白的表观消化率均为葵花籽组较高,与其他2组相比差异显著(P＜0.05),葵花籽组粗脂肪和粗蛋白的表观消化率分别为62.56%、64.92%,胡麻籽组和菜籽组的粗脂肪和粗蛋白表观消化率较低,但差异不显著(P＞0.05).     

日粮中添加不同植物油对奶牛瘤胃液挥发性脂肪酸及乳脂肪酸组成的影响

以3头年龄相同、平均体重650kg左右、泌乳期相同的装有永久性瘤胃瘘管的荷斯坦奶牛为试验动物,采用3×3拉丁方设计,探讨日粮中添加脂肪酸组成不同的植物油(葵花油、胡麻油、菜籽油,日粮脂肪含量均为6.5%)对奶牛瘤胃液总挥发性脂肪酸含量动态变化的影响,以及对乳脂肪酸组成的影响。结果表明,3个试验组奶牛瘤胃液总挥发性脂肪酸(TVFA)浓度差异不显著(P0.05);葵花油组反-C18:1含量和C18:2含量显著高于胡麻油组和菜籽油组(P0.05),后两组反-C18:1含量、C18:2含量差异不显著(P0.05);葵花油组和胡麻油组的多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)含量差异不显著(P0.05),但均显著高于菜籽油组(P0.05);胡麻油组的饱和脂肪酸(SFA)含量显著低于其他两组(P0.05),而其他两组SFA含量差异不显著(P0.05);葵花油组的CLA含量显著高于菜籽油组(P0.05),但与胡麻油组差异不显著(P0.05),菜籽油组和胡麻油组CLA含量差异显著(P0.05)。     

不同形式的植物油对奶牛生产性能和瘤胃微生物区系的影响

试验研究了日粮中分别补充0(对照组)、2%亚麻籽油(亚麻籽油组)、2%大豆油(大豆油组)和等同2%植物油的10%膨化大豆(膨化大豆组)对奶牛生产性能和瘤胃微生物区系的影响。结果表明:饲喂亚麻油、大豆油和膨化大豆组奶牛的奶产量显著(P<0.05)高于对照组,而乳脂含量显著低于对照组(P<0.05),校正乳(FCM)产量各组间差异不显著(P>0.05)。饲喂亚麻油、大豆油或膨化大豆对奶牛瘤胃微生物图谱条带数量和区系的相似性指数无显著影响(P>0.05)。各处理组的白色瘤胃球菌、溶纤维丁酸弧菌和产琥珀酸丝状杆菌比例无显著性差异(P>0.05)。研究结果显示,日粮补充适宜水平的不同形式植物油可改善奶牛生产性能,但对瘤胃微生物区系无显著影响。     

日粮中添加不同的油料籽实对奶牛瘤胃内PH值及NH3-N浓度动态变化的影响

以3头平均体重为650+20kg,装有永久性瘤胃瘘管的5岁中国荷斯坦奶牛为研究对象,试验采用3×3拉丁方设计,研究和探讨日粮中添加不同的油料籽实(日粮脂肪含量均在6.5%)对奶牛瘤胃内PH值及NH3-N浓度动态变化的影响。3种籽实分别为葵花籽、胡麻籽、菜籽。研究结果表明,日粮中添加不同的油料籽实对奶牛瘤胃液PH值动态变化的影响差异不显著(P0.05),其平均值依次为6.26、6.33、6.36,均在瘤胃发酵的正常范围之内。瘤胃液NH3-N浓度变化3组之间差异不显著(P0.05),其平均值依次为(mg/100ml)10.86\8.29\9.81。     

膨化亚麻籽对北京油鸡生长性能、屠宰性能、血浆生化指标、抗氧化能力和肌肉n-3多不饱和脂肪酸沉积量的影响

本试验旨在研究饲粮添加膨化亚麻籽对北京油鸡的生长性能、屠宰性能、血浆生化指标及肌肉n-3多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)沉积量的影响。试验选取10周龄北京油鸡(雌鸡)450只,随机分为5组,每组6个重复,每个重复15只鸡,试验期8周。在基础饲粮中分别添加0(阴性对照)、9%的亚麻籽(阳性对照)及9%、12%、15%的膨化亚麻籽,制成5种试验饲粮,分别命名为E0、F9、E9、E12、E15。结果表明:1)E9组生长性能和屠宰性能与F9组相比无显著差异(P>0.05)。与E0组相比,添加膨化亚麻籽对北京油鸡生长性能和屠宰性能均无显著影响(P>0.05)。2)与F9组相比,E9组血浆超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)的活性和丙二醛(MDA)的含量差异不显著(P>0.05)。相比于E0组,添加膨化亚麻籽显著降低北京油鸡肌肉中SOD的活性(P<0.05),同时显著提高血浆MDA的含量(P<0.05)。3)E12组肌肉中n-3PUFA沉积量最高,为(2.16±0.97)g/kg,是E0组5.68倍,且显著高于E0组(P<0.05),但与F9组无显著差异(P>0.05)。由此可见,亚麻籽膨化后可以显著提高n-3PUFA的沉积量,但相同添加量的亚麻籽和膨化亚麻籽对n-3PUFA的沉积量的影响没有显著差异;综合生产工序及成本,不建议使用膨化亚麻籽作为生产富含n-3PUFA鸡肉的油鸡饲料原料。     

Effects of flaxseed supplementation on milk production, milk fatty acid composition and nutrient utilization by lactating dairy cows.

Twelve multiparous Holstein cows at 72 +/- 20 days in milk were used in a switch-back design with 14-d periods to determine the effect of replacing barley grain into a dairy total mixed ration with micronized or raw flaxseed on nutrient digestibility, milk yield, milk composition. Total mixed diets were (DM basis) 50% barley silage, 50% concentrate mix mainly rolled barley grain and canola meal. Diets were supplemented with 1 kg raw (RF) or micronized (MF) flaxseed to substitute 1 kg of rolled barley grain (C). Neutral detergent fibre, ADF and CP digestibility of the diets were not significantly affected by supplementation; however, calcium digestibility was reduced by 62% and 46% when raw and micronized flax were fed, respectively. Milk yield (38.3, 39.6, and 38.4 kg/d for diets C, RF and MF, respectively) was similar for all diets. Milk fat (3.50, 3.48, and 3.52%) and protein (3.31, 3.34, and 3.31%) for diets C, RF and MF, respectively, were not affected by treatment diets. Concentrations of c9, t11 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA; 0.51, 0.72 and 0.76 g/100 g fatty acids) in milk fat increased (P<0.05) similarly among the two flaxseed supplemented diets. The RF and MF diets significantly increased the C18:1, C18:1 trans-11, C18:2 cis-9, cis-12 and C18:3 in milk fat however, C12:0, C14:0 and C16:0 were significantly reduced compared with control. Replacing barley grain with flaxseed in the diet of lactating cows increased the beneficial fatty acids in milk without depressing nutrient digestibility. Micronization of flaxseed did not reveal any advantage over raw flaxseed.     

The Effect of increasing levels of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) seed on the performance,ruminal fermentation,antioxidant status and milk fatty acid profile of Saanen dairy goats

This study was conducted to examine the effect of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) seed (DPS) on the performance, ruminal fermentation, antioxidant status and milk fatty acid (FA) profile of dairy goats. Eight multiparous Saanen dairy goats, averaging 97 ± 7 days in milk (DIM) and 2150 ± 130 g of milk production, were used in a 4 × 4 replicated Latin square design. Experimental diets contained 0% (control), 6% (DPS6), 12% (DPS12) and 18% (DPS18) of DPS. Dry matter intake (DMI), milk production, and the composition and digestibility of the dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and crude protein (CP) were not affected by the diets. Adding DPS to the diet increased linearly total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in milk and blood (p < 0.05). No significant difference was found in the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in milk and blood. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH‐Px) activities in the blood, ruminal pH, NH₃‐N, ruminal total volatile fatty acid (VFA), acetate, butyrate, isovalerate and valeric acid concentration had no significant effect among the diets. The propionate acid concentration decreased linearly as DPS was added to the diet, and DPS18 had minimum propionate acid concentration (p < 0.05). The inclusion of DPS18 to diets increased linearly the proportion of C18:0 (compared to control) as well as cis‐18:1, trans‐18:1 (compared to control and DPS6) and decreased C14:1 (compared to control) in milk fat (p < 0.05). The concentration of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in DPS18 was higher than other diets (p = 0.04). The results of this study implied that replacing DPS with a part of dairy goats’ ration had no negative effects on the performance of the animals and could also improve the antioxidant activity and increase the concentration of CLA in their milk.     

Effects of feeding pigs increasing levels of C 18:1 trans fatty acids on fatty acid composition of backfat and intramuscular fat as well as backfat firmness.

Forty Large White pigs were fed from 30 kg to 103 kg body mass on diets supplemented with 6% of pure high-oleic sunflower oil (HO) or HO plus increasing amounts of partially hydrogenated rape seed oil (HR; 1.85%, 3.70%, 5.55%), containing high levels of delta 6 to delta 11 C 18:1 trans fatty acid isomers. Increasing dietary C 18: trans fatty acids resulted in a linear increase in C 18:1 trans fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (cis-9, trans-11 CLA) in backfat (BF) as well as in neutral lipids (NL) and phospholipids (PL) of M. long. dorsi. Thus, the rate of bioconversion of trans vaccenic acid (TVA) into CLA and incorporation of C 18:1 trans and CLA into pig adipose tissue was not limited up to 25 g total C 18:1 trans fatty acids including 3.3 g of TVA per kg feed. BF was higher in C 18:1 trans fatty acids and CLA than M. long. dorsi NL and PL. In BF and NL the sum of saturated fatty acids (SFA) increased with increasing dietary amounts of HR, while in PL SFA were reduced. Thus, according to their physical properties, C 18:1 trans fatty acids partly replaced SFA in PL. Firmness of backfat was also significantly increased (P < 0.05) with increasing amounts of HR in feed.     

Rumen fermentation,milk production and conjugated linoleic acid in the milk of cows fed high fiber diets added with dried distillers grains with solubles

The effects of corn dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) feeding on rumen fermentation and milk production in cows were evaluated using diets high in neutral detergent fiber (NDF, 45.9–46.6%). The control diet (Control) consisted mainly of hay, corn silage and concentrates. In the experimental diets, the concentrates were replaced with DDGS as 10% dry matter (DM) (10%DDGS) and 20% DM (20%DDGS). Eight cows were used for each 14‐day treatment period. Effect of DDGS feeding on DM intake was not significant. Ruminal volatile fatty acids and ammonia‐N at 5 h after feeding of 20%DDGS were decreased compared to Control, whereas protozoal count at 2 h after feeding of 20%DDGS was higher than that of 10%DDGS. Milk yield of cows fed DDGS diets was greater than that of Control, although percentages of milk protein and solids‐not‐fat were decreased by DDGS diets. The proportions of C10:0, C12:0, C14:0 and C16:0 in the milk fat decreased, and those of C18:0, C18:1, C18:2 and cis‐9, trans‐11 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) increased markedly with elevated DDGS. Increase in trans‐11 C18:1 was observed in the rumen fluid at 5 h after feeding. These findings suggest that DDGS feeding enhanced milk yield, as well as CLA synthesis under a high dietary NDF condition.     

Effects of supplemental rumen-protected conjugated linoleic acid or corn oil on fatty acid composition of adipose tissues in beef cattle

Thirty-six Angus x Hereford heifers (365 +/- 60 kg) were used to determine the effects of supplemental dietary lipid sources on fatty acid composition of i.m., perianal (p.a.), and s.c. lipid depots. Lipid was supplied to diets as either corn oil or a rumen-protected conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) salt for two specific treatment periods of either the final 32 or 60 d on feed. Following an initial 56-d feeding period, heifers were fed one of three dietary treatments (DM basis): 1) basal diet containing 88% concentrate and 12% grass hay (CON), 2) basal diet plus 4% corn oil (OIL), or 3) basal diet plus 2% rumen-protected CLA salt (RPCLA) containing 31% CLA. The trans-10, cis-12 CLA concentration was greatest (P < 0.05) for heifers fed RPCLA and OIL diets and least (P < 0.05) for CON, regardless of time on dietary treatment. Heifers fed supplemental RPCLA had greater (P < 0.05) total CLA content than either CON- or OIL-fed heifers. Adipose tissue concentration of trans-11 vaccenic acid (TVA) was less (P < 0.05) for CON than OIL or RPCLA, which did not differ (P > 0.05). Percentages of C18:1 trans-10 were least (P < 0.05) in i.m. lipid compared with p.a. and s.c., which did not differ (P > 0.05). Following 60 d of lipid supplementation, heifers fed OIL and RPCLA had lower (P < 0.05) concentrations of oleic acid and total monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) compared with CON. The ratio of cis-9, trans-11 CLA:TVA was higher (P < 0.05) for heifers fed 60 vs. 32 d, but did not differ (P > 0.05) between adipose depots. Feeding OIL increased (P < 0.05) adipose concentration of C18:2 fatty acid, whereas feeding RPCLA increased (P < 0.05) total CLA isomers by 22%. Intramuscular lipid contained the lowest (P < 0.05) percentage of cis-9, trans-11 CLA, total CLA, C18:1 cis-9, C18:1 trans-10, and TVA. Total CLA and cis-9, trans-11 CLA isomers were increased (P < 0.05) in p.a. and s.c. adipose depots, whereas i.m. adipose tissue contained increased (P < 0.05) amounts of total PUFA. Results from this study indicate that short-term lipid supplementation to feedlot cattle can increase adipose tissue CLA concentrations, but only marginally (8.3 to 17.5%). Moreover, observed decreases in oleic acid and total MUFA concentrations of adipose tissues from heifers fed rumen-protected CLA or corn oil suggest that lipid supplementation may decrease delta9 desaturase activity in adipose tissues, which in turn would lower the conversion of TVA to cis-9, trans-11 CLA isomer.     

Effects of forage and sunflower oil levels on ruminal biohydrogenation of fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid formation in beef steers fed finishing diets

Six Hereford steers (295 kg) cannulated in the proximal duodenum were used to evaluate the effects of forage and sunflower oil level on ruminal biohydrogenation (BH) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) outflow. Steers were fed one of six treatment diets in a 3 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments (grass hay level: 12, 24, or 36% of DM; and sunflower oil level: 2 or 4% of DM) in a 6 x 6 Latin square design. The remainder of the diet was made up of steam rolled corn and protein/mineral supplement. Duodenal samples were collected for 4 d following 10-d diet adaptation periods. Data were analyzed with animal, period, forage level, sunflower oil level, and two-way interaction between forage and sunflower oil level in the model. Dry matter intake showed a quadratic response (P < 0.04), with an increase in DMI as forage level increased from 12 to 24% followed by a decrease in DMI when 36% forage was fed. Flow of fatty acids at the duodenum was higher (P < 0.03) for 4 vs. 2% sunflower oil diets, and similar among forage levels. Apparent ruminal digestibility of NDF increased in a linear manner (P < 0.04) as dietary forage level increased. Ruminal BH of dietary unsaturated 18-C fatty acids, oleic acid, and linoleic acid increased linearly (P < 0.05) as dietary forage level increased. Linoleic acid BH tended (P < 0.07) to be greater for 4 than 2% sunflower oil level. Duodenal flow of pentadecyclic, stearic, linolenic, and arachidic acids increased linearly (P < 0.05) as dietary forage level increased from 12 to 36%. Duodenal flow of linoleic acid decreased in a linear manner (P < 0.03) with increasing dietary forage level. Flow of trans-10 octadecenoate decreased linearly (P < 0.03) as dietary forage level increased, whereas trans-11 vaccenic acid flow to the duodenum increased (P < 0.01) linearly with increased dietary forage. Dietary forage or sunflower oil levels did not alter the outflow of cis-9, trans-11 CLA. Flows of cis-11, trans-13, and cis-9, cis-11 CLA increased linearly (P < 0.05) with increased dietary forage. Flows of cis-11, cis-13, and trans-11, trans-13 CLA decreased linearly (P < 0.05) with increased dietary forage. Increasing dietary forage levels from 12 to 36% in beef cattle finishing diets increased BH of unsaturated 18-C fatty acid and outflow of trans-11 vaccenic acid to duodenum without altering cis-9, trans-11 CLA outflow.     

Effects of dietary concentrate level and chromium-methionine supplementation on ruminal fermentation,and ruminal bacterial and fatty acid composition in Tan lambs北大核心CSCD

This study evaluated the effects of dietary concentrate level and chromium methionine(Cr-Met)supplementation on ruminal fermentation and fatty acid composition, and ruminal bacteria abundance in Tan lambs. Forty male Tan lambs [(21.00±1.23) kg body weight, 5 months of age] were randomly assigned to four treatment groups with 10 lambs in each treatment. The treatments were: a low-concentrate (LC) diet (concentrate:forage, 35:65) without Cr-Met supplementation; a high-concentrate (HC) diet (concentrate:forage, 55:45) without Cr-Met supplementation; groups fed the HC diet with 0.75 or 1.50 g·d-1·lamb-1 Cr-Met (HCM and HCH, respectively). Ruminal fluid was collected on day 65 with an oral stomach tube about 3 h after the morning feed and samples used for fermentation analysis, fatty acid composition determination and bacterial DNA extraction. It was found that: 1) Ruminal pH, acetate proportion and acetate:propionate were greater (P<0.05) with the LC diet whereas microbial crude protein, propionate and valerate proportions were greater (P<0.05) with the HC diet. The acetate:propionate was greater (P<0.05) in the HCM group than in the HC group. 2) For the HC diet, the DNA abundances of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens vaccenic acid subgroup (Butyrivibrio VA) and Ruminococcus flavefaciens were decreased (P<0.05), compared with the LC diet, whereas the DNA abundance of Anaerovibrio lipolytica was increased (P<0.05). For lambs fed the HC diet, DNA abundances of B. fibrisolvens stearic acid subgroup, Butyrivibrio VA, Butyrivibrio proteoclasticus, and A. lipolytica showed a linear decrease (P<0.05) with increasing Cr-Met supplementation level; However, the DNA abundance of R. flavefaciens showed a linear increase (P<0.05). 3) Compared with the LC group, the concentrations of t11 C18:1, trans C18:1, c9t11 CLA, t10c12 CLA, C18:2n6, and C18:3n3 were decreased by the HC diet without Cr-Met supplementation whereas the concentration of C18:0 was increased. There was a linear increase in t11 C18:1 and trans C18:1 with increasing Cr-Met supplementation level in lambs fed the HC diet. The results suggest that the HC diet inhibited the growth of ruminal bacteria involved in the ruminal biohydrogenation process, and the addition of Cr-Met had a potentially positive effect on conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) synthesis in body tissue. © 2022, Editorial Office of Acta Prataculturae Sinica.

Comparative evaluation of rumen-protected fat, coconut oil and various oilseeds supplemented to fattening bulls. 2. Effects on composition and oxidative stability of adipose tissues.

The effects of five different dietary fat supplements on fatty acid composition and oxidative stability of subcutaneous and kidney fat were evaluated in 36 Brown Swiss bulls and compared to a low fat diet in a monofactorial design. The following fat supplements were provided as additional fat at 30 g per kg feed dry matter: crystalline rumen-protected fat, coconut oil, and three types of crushed whole oilseeds (rapeseed, sunflower seed and linseed). Adipose tissues reflected differences (P < 0.05) in dietary fatty acid composition although to a lower extent. Using protected fat, which contained elevated levels of trans fatty acids, and sunflower seed, containing a high proportion of linoleic acid, significantly increased C18:1 trans fatty acid proportion in the adipose tissues. The use of sunflower seed increased conjugated linoleic acid. The oilseeds resulted in lower amounts of C16:0 in favour of C18:0. Except for linseed, all fat supplemented groups improved oxidative stability of adipose tissues as compared with control. This was explained by lower proportions of unsaturated fatty acids in adipose tissue (protected fat), by elevated alpha-tocopherol contents (rapeseed, sunflower seed) or by a combination of both (coconut oil). Fat colour remained unaffected by treatments. Compared to other fat supplements oilseeds, especially sunflower seed and rapeseed, can therefore be recommended to be fed to bulls in order to increase the proportions of C18 unsaturated fatty acids in adipose tissues and to maintain or improve oxidative stability.     

Effect of dietary fat sources on systemic and intrauterine synthesis of prostaglandins during early pregnancy in gilts

The present experiment was conducted to determine the influence of dietary fatty acids C18:2n-6 and C18:3n-3 on the modulation of intrauterine synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and F2alpha (PGF2alpha) during early pregnancy in pigs. Prostaglandin E2 in uterine fluid has been previously reported to be associated with embryo survival and development. Thirty-two Yorkshire-Landrace nulliparous gilts were randomly allocated to four diets containing 5% supplemental fat. The four dietary treatments were: HT, hydrogenated tallow (26.5% C16:0 and 54.8% C18:0); SO, sunflower oil (61.3% C18:2n-6); LO, linseed oil (50.4% C18:3n-3); and SO(CLA), a mixture of sunflower oil and conjugated linoleic acids to provide 20% CLA. Treatments started 2 d after the first pubertal estrus (d -21) and lasted for 36 d (slaughter), which was 15 d after the second estrus (d 0; insemination). Fatty acids and PGE2 were measured in the peripheral blood plasma on d -19, d -7, d 0, and d 14. Fatty acids in endometrial tissues and PGE2 and PGF2alpha in the uterine fluid collected on d 15 were also measured. Concentrations of fatty acids in the plasma reflected the content of fatty acids in the diet as early as d -7. From d -7, PGE2 concentrations in the plasma were higher in gilts fed SO compared with HT (P < 0.05). Plasma PGE2 concentrations were lower (P < 0.01) on d 14 in gilts fed LO compared with HT. Total PGF2alpha contents in the uterine fluid of gilts fed LO were more than 70% lower (P < 0.05) than for the HT group. A similar trend was observed for total PGE2 content and for the ratio PGF2alpha:PGE2, but the effect (LO vs HT) was less marked (P < 0.07 and P < 0.10, respectively). There was no effect of SO or SO(CLA) on total PGE2 contents in the uterine fluid. Dietary enrichment in C18:2n-6 and/or C18:3n-3 for early pregnant gilts can influence fatty acids in plasma and endometrial tissue and can modulate circulatory and intrauterine prostaglandins.
