  • Production Responses of Dairy Cows to Dietary Supplementation with Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) During the Transition Period and Early Lactation
    Journal of Dairy Science, 2010
    Co-Authors: G. Bernal-santos, James W Perfield, Dale E. Bauman, David M. Barbano, T R Overton
    Abstract:

    Holstein cows (n = 30) entering second or greater lactation were fed fat supplements (90 g/d of fatty acids) consisting of Ca salts of either palm fatty acid distillate (control) or a mixture of palm fatty acid distillate and mixed isomers of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA, 30.4 g/ d) from 2 wk prepartum through 20 wk postpartum to determine whether CLA would inhibit milk fat synthesis during early lactation and, in turn, affect Energy metabolism of dairy cows during the transition period and early lactation. Feeding CLA did not affect DMI or plasma concentrations of glucose, nonesterfied fatty acids, or beta-hydroxbutyrate during the prepartum period and did not affect postpartum DMI. Feeding CLA reduced milk fat content by 12.5% during early lactation; however, cows fed CLA tended to produce approximately 3 kg/d more milk during the first 20 wk of lactation. Feeding CLA tended to decrease the contribution of short- and medium-chain (C < or = 16) fatty acids to milk fat. Changes in milk yield, milk fat content, and milk fatty acid composition were not apparent until after the second week of lactation. Yield of 3.5% fat-corrected milk, milk protein content, milk protein composition, and calculated Energy Balance were not affected by treatment. Postpartum concentrations of glucose, nonesterfied fatty acids, and beta-hydroxbutyrate in plasma and hepatic content of glycogen and triglycerides were similar between treatments. These data imply that with CLA treatment in early lactation, dairy cows decreased milk fat synthesis and appeared to respond by partitioning more nutrients toward milk synthesis rather than improving Net Energy Balance.

  • dietary supplements of two doses of calcium salts of conjugated linoleic acid during the transition period and early lactation
    Journal of Dairy Science, 2005
    Co-Authors: E Castanedagutierrez, T R Overton, W R Butler, D E Bauman
    Abstract:

    Reduction of milk fat secretion by the use of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplements may alleviate Energy demands during early lactation. The objective of the present study was to evaluate lactational performance, Net Energy Balance, and reproductive response of dairy cows supplemented with 2 doses of CLA from 2 wk before predicted calving until 9 wk postpartum. Holstein cows (n = 48) were divided into 3 treatment groups: 1) control, 2) low dose CLA treatment (CLA-1), and 3) high dose CLA treatment (CLA-2). Supplements for all treatments provided 230 g/d of fat; the control group received Ca salts of palm fatty acid distillate and the CLA groups received a mixture of Ca salts of CLA isomers and Ca salts of palm fatty acid distillate (31.6 and 63.2 g/d of CLA isomers for CLA-1 and CLA-2, respectively). Supplementation with CLA resulted in an 11 and 21% decrease in milk fat yield for CLA-1 and CLA-2, respectively. Milk production and secretion of other milk components did not differ among treatments. Milk Energy output was significantly reduced with CLA-2, but Net Energy Balance, body weight, and body condition scores were unaffected. Treatment had no effect on hepatic triglyceride concentration or plasma glucose and insulin, but nonesterified fatty acids tended to be lower for CLA-1. There were no consistent dose-related effects on reproduction variables, and no adverse effects were observed during the treatment or posttreatment period. Supplemental CLA was effective in reducing milk fat content, but it did not have a significant effect on milk yield or Net Energy Balance.

  • role of insulin in the regulation of milk fat synthesis in dairy cows
    Journal of Dairy Science, 1997
    Co-Authors: J. Mikko Griinari, D E Bauman, Mark A. Mcguire, D.a. Dwyer, Donald L. Palmquist
    Abstract:

    Abstract Five lactating Holstein cows were fitted with rumen fistulas and subjected to a hyperinsulinemiceuglycemic clamp and abomasal casein infusion to examine the effects on milk fat synthesis and the composition of milk fatty acids. The experiment consisted of two periods of abomasal infusions (water or 0.5 kg/d of casein); each period was divided into three 4-d intervals. The initial interval allowed for acclimation, and baseline measurements were established during the second interval. During the third 4-d interval, a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp was maintained, and insulin was infused continuously at the rate of 1 μ g/kg of body weight per h. Circulating concentrations of insulin were increased more than fourfold, and euglycemia was maintained by infusion of glucose at variable rates. Insulin had no effect on milk fat yield but casein infusion increased milk yield and tended to increase fat yield. A trend toward higher milk yield during the clamp, combined with a slight numerical decrease in milk fat yield, resulted in decreased fat percentage. Calculated Net Energy Balance was positive throughout the study, although feed intake decreased during the insulin clamp, particularly for the water infusion period. Minor changes occurred in the composition of milk fatty acids during the clamp when the Balance between de novo and preformed fatty acids shifted slightly toward de novo. Overall, results demonstrated that a relatively constant rate of milk fat synthesis was maintained during chronic hyperinsulinemia. Effects on milk fat yield and composition of fatty acids offered no support for the role of insulin on milk fat depression.

  • use of indirect calorimetry to evaluate utilization of Energy in lactating jersey dairy cattle consuming common coproducts
    Journal of Dairy Science, 2019
    Co-Authors: M A Reynolds, T M Brownbrandl, J V Judy, K E Hales, K J Herrick, Andrea K Watson, P J Kononoff
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT The use of coproducts as an alternative feed source is a common practice when formulating dairy rations. A study using 12 multiparous (79 ± 16 d in milk; mean ± standard deviation) lactating Jersey cows was conducted over 5 mo to evaluate the effects of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) or canola meal on milk and gas production. A replicated 4 × 4 Latin square design was used to compare 4 dietary treatments. Treatments comprised a control (CON) containing no coproducts, a treatment diet containing 10% (dry matter basis) low-fat DDGS (LFDG), a treatment diet containing 10% high-fat DDGS (HFDG), and a 10% canola meal (CM) treatment. The crude fat content of the LFDG, HFDG, and CM treatments was 6.05 ± 0.379, 10.0 ± 0.134, and 3.46 ± 0.085%, respectively. Coproducts were included in partial replacement for corn and soybean meal. Indirect headbox-style calorimeters were used to estimate heat production. Dry matter intake and milk yield were similar between all treatments, averaging 17.4 ± 0.56 kg/d and 24.0 ± 0.80 kg, respectively. Milk urea N was affected by treatment and was highest in CON (20.6 mg/dL; 18.0, 19.9, and 18.1 ± 0.62 mg/dL in LFDG, CM, and HFDG, respectively). Heat production per unit of metabolic body weight tended to be affected by treatment and was lowest for CON, and diets containing coproducts were not different (192, 200, 215, and 204 ± 5.91 kcal/kg of metabolic body weight for CON, LFDG, CM, and HFDG, respectively). The concentration of metabolizable Energy was affected by dietary treatment; specifically, HFDG did not differ from CON but was greater than LFDG and CM (2.58, 2.46, 2.29, and 2.27 ± 0.09 Mcal/kg for HFDG, CON, LFDG, and CM, respectively). The concentration of Net Energy Balance (milk plus tissue) tended to be affected by dietary treatment; HFDG did not differ from either CON or LFDG, but it was higher than CM (1.38, 1.36, 1.14, and 1.06 ± 0.11 Mcal/kg for HFDG, CON, LFDG, and CM, respectively). Results of this study indicate that milk production and dry matter intake were not affected by feeding common coproducts and that differences may result in whole-animal Energy use; fat content of DDGS is a major factor affecting this.

  • the influence of fat and hemicellulose on methane production and Energy utilization in lactating jersey cattle
    Journal of Dairy Science, 2018
    Co-Authors: O R Drehmel, T M Brownbrandl, J V Judy, Samodha C Fernando, Phillip S Miller, K E Hales, P J Kononoff
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT Feeding fat to lactating dairy cows may reduce methane production. Relative to cellulose, fermentation of hemicellulose is believed to result in less methane; however, these factors have not been studied simultaneously. Eight multiparous, lactating Jersey cows averaging (±SD) 98 ± 30.8 d in milk and body weight of 439.3 ± 56.7 kg were used in a twice-replicated 4 × 4 Latin square to determine the effects of fat and hemicellulose on Energy utilization and methane production using a headbox-type indirect calorimetry method. To manipulate the concentration of fat, porcine tallow was included at either 0 or 2% of the diet dry matter. The concentration of hemicellulose was adjusted by manipulating the inclusion rate of corn silage, alfalfa hay, and soybean hulls resulting in either 11.3 or 12.7% hemicellulose (dry matter basis). The resulting factorial arrangement of treatments were low fat low hemicellulose (LFLH), low fat high hemicellulose (LFHH), high fat low hemicellulose (HFLH), and high fat high hemicellulose (HFHH). Neither fat nor hemicellulose affected dry matter intake, averaging 16.2 ± 1.18 kg/d across treatments. Likewise, treatments did not affect milk production, averaging 23.0 ± 1.72 kg/d, or Energy-corrected milk, averaging 30.1 ± 2.41 kg/d. The inclusion of fat tended to reduce methane produced per kilogram of dry matter intake from 24.9 to 23.1 ± 1.59 L/kg, whereas hemicellulose had no effect. Increasing hemicellulose increased neutral detergent fiber (NDF) digestibility from 43.0 to 51.1 ± 2.35%. Similarly, increasing hemicellulose concentration increased total intake of digestible NDF from 6.62 to 8.42 ± 0.89 kg/d, whereas fat had no effect. Methane per unit of digested NDF tended to decrease from 64.8 to 49.2 ± 9.60 L/kg with increasing hemicellulose, whereas fat had no effect. An interaction between hemicellulose and fat content on Net Energy Balance (milk plus tissue Energy) was observed. Specifically, increasing hemicellulose in low-fat diets tended to increase Net Energy Balance, but this was not observed in high-fat diets. These results confirm that methane production may be reduced with the inclusion of fat, whereas Energy utilization of lactating dairy cows is improved by increasing hemicellulose in low-fat diets.
