1 Utilization of Saturated and Unsaturated Fatty Acids by Dairy Cattle Tom Jenkins Professor Emeritus Animal & Veterinary Sciences Clemson University

2 Fat Terms Total Lipid (ether extract) Includes fatty acids Non-lipid contaminants Fatty acids Basic unit of fats Best predictor of animal performance Saturated/Unsaturated

3 Saturated vs Unsaturated Different Structure

4 Saturated vs Unsaturated Different Structure

5 Saturated vs Unsaturated Different Structure

6 Saturated vs Unsaturated Different Sources Abbr Name Tallow DGS Linseed Canola Fish 16:0 palmitic :0 stearic :1 oleic :2 linoleic :3 linolenic :5 EPA 10 22:6 DHA 13

7 Saturated vs Unsaturated Different Sources Fatty Acid Alfalfa Rye Grass Timothy White Clover Corn Silage Sat : : : % TFA

8 Saturated vs Unsaturated Commercial Sources Commercial fats Designed to avoid rumen problems Dry fats for easy transport and mixing Categories Prilled fats mostly saturated (16:0 and 18:0) Ca salts with some unsaturated fatty acids

9 Saturated vs Unsaturated Different Benefits/Limitations Saturated provide energy with less problems on rumen function (MFD) and DMI but can have lower digestibility. Unsaturated provide energy with more problems on rumen function (MFD) and DMI, but better digestibility and supply omega fatty acids for improved tissue function.

10 Saturated vs Unsaturated Commonalties There is a limit to their benefits Feeding too much exceeds that limit and can reduce benefits No change or decrease in milk yield Reduce components Proper feeding rate varies Composition of fat source Composition of basal diet

11 Saturated fatty acids (28%) Saturated fatty acids (73%)

16 Possible factors affecting digestibility of stearic Fat particle size and its reduction by mixing, mastication, and rumination (Grummer and Rabelo, 1998). Basal stearic acid vs stearic acid supplements. Increased Ca salt formation at higher stearic acid concentration (Jenkins and Palmquist, 1982). Lysolecithin limiting at higher concentrations (Boerman et al., 2015).

18 Unsaturated Fatty Acids and the Risk of Milk Fat Depression

19 Tissue Effects of Unsaturated FA Precursors for eicosenoids and prostaglandins Enhance reproductive performance Increase CL diameter and pregnancy rates Increase synthesis of series 3 prostaglandins Immune System Modulation Omega-6 inflammatory/omega-3 anti-inflammatory w-3/w-6 attenuated inflammatory responses to an intra-mammary challenge with lipopolysaccharide (Greco et al. (2015) J. Dairy Sci. 98:602)

48 Bakery Waste Example I can get a GREAT deal on bakery waste from a local cookie plant that makes chocolate chip cookies and I want to use as much as I can. I presently feed about 1/3 lb commercial bypass fat and 5 lbs whole cottonseed. I need to leave these in the ration because of previous commitments but we can adjust their amounts to use up inventory. The supplier states that the waste product contains 24.7% total fat of which 12.5% is saturated.

61 Points to Remember Lipid is unique among feed nutrients because of its potential insult on the rumen microbial population. RUFAL is useful for a quick look at the FA fraction that potentially disrupts rumen function. RUFAL > 3% of TMR DM is higher risk because of potential to increase CLA that causes milk fat depression. RUFAL is in balance with rumen ph to determine effects on rumen function. Learn how to limit fats and oils that can negatively affect animal performance.
