Crossbred Angus steers (n = 30) were used to determine whether the conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) content of beef fat could be increased by feeding varying levels of extruded full-fat soybeans as a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids for rumen biohydrogenation. Diets were as follows: 1) control, 2) 12.7% extruded full-fat soybeans (LESB), and 3) 25.6% extruded full-fat soybeans (HE SB). Steer...

The aim of this study was to assess the effects seasonal variation on changes fatty acid (FA) and triacylglycerol (TAG) composition bovine milk fat (MF) in a nonseasonal milking system. Weekly samples were collected from 14 dairy factories pooled per week as representative average Dutch milk. sample collection started May 2017 finished April 2018, resulting total 52 samples, corresponding each ...

The Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) predicts cattle requirements and nutrient supply for site-specific situations. This paper describes the CNCPS version 6 (CNCPSv6), which represents a re-engineering and updating of CNCPS version 5 with the following objectives: (1) improve the organization of the model and user interface to improve speed and accuracy in formulating diets f...

The present study was conducted to determine the effect of lipid sources with different fatty acid profiles on nutrient digestion and ruminal fermentation. Ten rumen and duodenal fistulated Nellore steers (268 body weight±27 kg) were distributed in a duplicated 5×5 Latin square. Dietary treatments were as follows: without fat (WF), palm oil (PO), linseed oil (LO), protected fat (PF; Lactoplus),...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of forage level and oil supplement on selected strains of rumen bacteria believed to be involved in biohydrogenation (BH). A continuous culture system consisting of four fermenters was used in a 4×4 Latin square design with a factorial arrangement of treatments, with four 10 d consecutive periods. Treatment diets were: i) high forage diet ...

The aim of this study was to determine and compare in situ biohydrogenation (BH) fatty acids in three forms of soybeans and linseed (raw, extruded and roasted). Nylon bags (5×10 cm) containing 4 g of raw, extruded or roasted soybeans or raw, extruded or roasted linseed were incubated in the rumen of fistulated ewes for 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours. Results for linoleic acid (C18:2) showed tha...

Abstract Environmental impact, quality, and quantity of food products ruminant origin (especially beef mutton) are considered major challenges in meeting the nutritional requirements growing human population worldwide. Therefore, we conducted this vitro study to explore potential Paulownia leaves silage (PLS) reduce environmental impact feedlot lamb production improve ruminal fatty acids (FAs) ...
