2 Fodringsdag 2018 September 2018, Herning DK H. Lapierre 1, D.R. Ouellet 1 & R. Martineau 1 S. Binggeli 2 & D. Pellerin 2 1 Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada; 2 Laval University, Québec, QC, Canada

3 AA: Amino Acid CP: Crude Protein EAA: essential AA FPCM: Fat and Protein Corrected Milk MP: Metabolizable Protein MPY: Milk Protein Yield Rqt: Requirements

4 Balancing dairy rations for AA Proportional: simple: fixed number initiated the implementation of AA balance

5 Milk protein content response, % Milk protein content responses, g/100 g Milk protein content responses, g/100 g Milk protein content responses, g/100 g Proportional NRC: 6.89% AMTS (CNCPS): 6.84% Digestible Lys, % MP Digestible Lys, %MP New data, book version CPM: 7.23% Digestible Lys, % MP Digestible Lys, %MP CNCPS v.6.5: 6.77% vanamburgh et al Digestible Lys, % MP Digestible Lys, %MP Whitehouse, Schwab et al. 2010

6 Balancing dairy rations for AA Proportional: Does not take into account that the proportion of non essential AA (NEAA) relative to MP varies. Recommendations are fixed, independent of milk yield.

7 Number of studies Porportion of NEAA / MP ,52 0,53 0,54 0,55 0,56 0,57 0,58 0,62 NEAA / MP (CTL trts in Doepel et al JDS)

8 % Lys / MP Supply of 105 g of Lys with same EAA supply but different NEAA/MP , ,5 0,52 0,55 0,58 NEAA / MP

9 MP rqt (g/d) MP requirement with different milk protein yields Milk protein yield (g/d) Milk MFP Scurf Urine Endo 8.7% 6.0% 3.7% 7.0% % Lys

10 MP rqt (g/d) Lys requirement with different milk protein yields 7.55% % 7.27% MP - Lys Lys Milk protein yield (g/d)

11 Factorial approach requires: 1. AA composition of proteins 2. AA supply 3. AA requirement a. Export proteins in previous talk b. [AA] in export proteins c. Efficiency of utilization of AA 4. Impact of balancing for His, Lys & Met

12 1. AA composition of proteins [AA] obtained from hydrolysis Correction factors need to be used for 24-h measurements 1 kg of protein kg of AA

13 g Val / 100 g CP [Val] in canola meal Time (h)

14 g Ser / 100 g CP [Ser] in canola meal 5,0 4,0 3,0 2, Time (h)

15 Correction factors for [AA] from hydrolysis AA Missing in 24- h hydrolysis His 1.02 Lys 1.06 Met 1.05 Val (Lapierre et al CNC and submitted)

16 2. AA supply Microbial (MCP) Undegraded (RUP) «Endogenous» digested Metabolizable protein -> AA digestible flow

17 AA composition of rumen microbial population g AA/ 100 g AA 10 5 Fluid abac Particle abac Protozoa 33 % 50 % 17 % 0 His Lys Met Val (Sok et al JDS)

18 AA composition of MCP 10 g AA/ 100 g AA 5 Clark 1992 LeHénaff 1991 Sok His Lys Met Val (Sok et al JDS)

19 AA composition of MCP 10 g AA/ 100 g AA 5 0 His Lys Met Val Clark 1992 LeHénaff 1991 Sok 2017 Sok 2017_2 g AA/ 100 g TP (Sok et al JDS)

20 Correction factors for RUP AA Missing in 24- h hydrolysis His 1.02 Lys 1.06 Met 1.05 Val (Lapierre et al CNC and submitted)

21 Duodenal Endogenous N? sloughed cells enzymes mucus bile

22 Duodenal Endo-N : supply / rqt?

23 Duodenal Endo-N : supply? NOT a net supply: needs to be removed from duodenal flow (not a rqt neither)

24 2. AA supply Microbial Undegraded «Endogenous» digested Metabolizable protein -> AA digestible flow

25 3. Requirement: a. Export «proteins» scurf Metabolic fecal

26 3b. [AA] in export proteins MP rqt = true protein [AA] in export proteins -> [AA] in g AA / 100 g TP

27 3b.i [AA]: Scurf TP / CP = 0.85 Head, hide, feet and tail (Williams 1978 & Van Amburgh et al. 2015)

28 3b.ii [AA]: Endo Uri Endogenous urea (±18% of EndoUri): -> empty body composition Endogenous PD: Asp, Gln, Gly Creatinine / creatine: Arg, Gly 3-methyl His: His Hippuric acid: Gly

29 3b.iii [AA]: MFP 70% forestomach segment: Ørskov et al % small intestinal endogenous secretion in pigs: Jansman et al TP / CP = 0.73

30 3b.v [AA]: Milk from primary structures (DNA seq.) of protein fractions (Farrell et al. 2004) average contribution of protein fractions to milk protein (15 studies) 82.4 % CN 17.6 % whey

31 3b. [AA] in export TP 9 % of TP 5 Scurf Endo Uri MFP Milk 1 His Lys Met Thr

32 3c. Efficiency For AA (and MP), an efficiency for maintenance and an efficiency for lactation have been traditionally used RQT = Export MAINT + Export MILK Eff MAINT Eff MILK

33 Combined efficiency = [Export + Accretion] Supply Export = Milk + metabolic fecal protein (MFP) + scurf Accretion = growth + gestation Endogenous urinary = end-products -> efficiency of 1

34 3c. Variable efficiency Studies from Martineau et al. 2016; Export and supply exclude Endo Uri for which efficiency has been set at 100%

35

36 Variable efficiency of utilization of AAc AA Mean Min Max His Lys Met Val Studies from Martineau et al. 2016; Export and supply exclude Endo Uri for which efficiency has been set at 100%

37 3c. Efficiency of AA use Variable Decreases with increased supply -> α increased [AA] 3. Other factors related to variable efficiency?

38 Milk CP, kg/d Energy affects MPY response to CP supply 40 Mcal/d ME 50 Mcal/d ME 60 Mcal/d ME CP intake, kg/d (Hanigan et al. 1998)

39 Milk protein yield, g/d Energy affects MPY response to MP supply RMSE = MJ/d NE L +10 MJ/d NE L 0 MJ/d NE L -10 MJ/d NE L -20 MJ/d NE L MP supply, g/d (Daniel et al. 2016)

42 Inclusion of energy in the estimation of efficiency of MP NorFor -> MP/NE L (Volden et al. 2011) DVE/EOB > MP/NE L (Van Duinkerken et al. 2011) INRA (2018) : Export protein = fct (MP, NE L, %Lys, %Met)

43 Lys efficiency Ratio of AA/energy used to make recommendations Pigs CNCPS (van Amburgh, 2018) (B) (A) Lys supply (% MP) Lys supply (g/mcal ME)

44 3c. Efficiency of AA use Variable Decreases with increased supply Increases with energy supply

45 4. Impact of balancing for His, Lys & Met N-CyCLES (Pellerin et al. 2017): Excel-based linear whole-farm model simulator Using initially NRC (2001) MP model (MP 2001) Adapted with MP and AA revised recommendations (AA_Rev) including variable efficiency of AA Assumes no change in MTPY Based on records Comparison made with 3 production systems/regions: Maritimes: 8608 kg milk /year, 63 cows Central Canada: 9102 kg milk /year, 71 cows Prairies: 9198 kg milk /year, 144 cows

46 Feed ingredients used Forage Energy Protein Alfalfa silage Corn grain Canola meal Mix silage Wheat grain Soybean meal Corn silage Barley grain Corn gluten meal Grass hay Ca soap fatty acids Corn distillers Straw Legume-haylage Barley silage Wheat distillers Pea Not available in the Prairies system Only available in the Prairies system

47 MP supply, g/d NRC 2001 Rev_AA Early Mid-late Binggeli et al & unpublished

48 (N milk + N growth + N conceptus) / N intake, % N efficiency in early lactating cows NRC 2001 Rev_AA Maritimes Central Prairies Binggeli et al & unpublished

49 (N milk + N growth + N conceptus) / N intake, % N efficiency in mid-late dairy cows NRC 2001 Rev_AA Maritimes Central Prairies Binggeli et al & unpublished

50 Net income, $/kg FPCM 0,25 # cows kg FPCM /year 0,20 NRC 2001 Rev_AA 0,15 0,10 Maritimes Central Prairies Binggeli et al & unpublished

51 Increased net income, CAN$ per farm Rev_AA Maritimes Central Prairies Binggeli et al & unpublished

52 Conclusion Improved assesment of AA supply Improved assesment of exported AA Combined and variable efficiency -> sufficient elements to improve the factorial method to balance dairy rations for EAA -> should work for all EAA (not Arg)

53 Conclusion Balancing for EAA rather than MP would generally increase: -> N efficiency -> dairy farm profitability -> but varies according to the production system Are we ready to forget about MP and balance only for EAA?
