Effect of Blend-Pelleted Products Based on Carinata Meal or Canola Meal in Combination with Lignosulfonate on Ruminal Degradation and Fermentation Characteristics, Intestinal Digestion, and Feed Milk Value When Fed to Dairy Cows

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect newly developed blend-pelleted products based on carinata meal (BPPCR) or canola (BPPCN) in combination with peas and lignosulfonate ruminal fermentation characteristics, degradation kinetics, intestinal digestion feed milk values (FMV) when fed high-producing dairy cows. Three dietary treatments Control = control diet (common barley-based western Canada); BPPCR basal supplemented 12.3%DM (carinata 71.4% + pea 23.8% lignosulfonate4.8%DM), BPPCN 13.3%DM (canola 4.8%DM). In whole project, nine mid-lactating Holstein cows (body weight, 679 ± 124 kg; days milk, 96 22) used a triplicated 3 × Latin square for an animal production performance study. For kinetics study, experiment was design three different periods available multiparous fistulated results showed that higher (p < 0.05) total VFA rumen concentration (138 mmol/L) than BPPCN. There no > 0.10) ammonia nutrients. significant differences among diets nutrients metabolizable protein. Similarly, not affected by diets. conclusion, new co-product from bio-fuel processing industry equal pelleted conventional high producing cattle.
