Interactions of unsaturated fat or coconut oil with Rumensin® on milk fat production might be mediated through inhibition of specific protozoal genera
نویسنده
چکیده
Meat and milk from ruminants are rich in saturated fat and this influences human health. The saturation of fat occurs in the rumen where microorganisms hydrogenate unsaturated fatty acids (FA). The metabolism of the FA in the rumen also influences the synthesis of FA in the mammary gland and can be responsible for a decrease in milk fat production. The purpose of this research is to identify the ruminal microbial changes that are responsible for FA hydrogenation

Fatty Acid Digestibility of Fat Sources Fed to Dairy Cows and Effects on Concentration of Fat in Milk
Milk fat yield affects the price received for milk by dairy farmers, and given the rising feed costs, maximizing diet digestibility is critical for the economical viability of dairy farms. Although feeding animal-vegetable fat or coconut oil to dairy cows can increase energy intake, they sometimes cause milk fat depression (MFD). Feeding monensin has been found to increase feed efficiency and m...
متن کاملEffects of saturated and unsaturated dietary fat on aflatoxin B1 metabolism.
Male Fisher 344 rats were fed diets containing either 20% corn oil, 20% coconut oil or 18% coconut oil plus 2% corn oil for 3 wk. A single dose of [3H]aflatoxin B1 [(3H]AFB1) was administered ip and the biliary excretion of aflatoxin metabolites and the binding of 3H to nucleic acids were studied. In other experiments the in vitro metabolism of AFB1 by liver postmitochondrial supernatants prepa...

Heat stress has adverse effects on livestock production, hence reducing benefits of them. With the viewpoint of reducing heat production within cells,an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different sources of fat on mitochondrial energetics of broilers in chronic heat-stress condition. The consumed fat included: a)tallow; as a source of long-chain fatty acids, b)coconut oil;...
متن کاملThe effects of corn silage particles size and fat supplement on feed intake, digestibility, ruminal function, chewing activity, and performance in mid-lactating Holstein dairy cows
An experiment was carried out to determine the effect of corn silage particle size and fat supplements on performance, solid passage rate through the digestive tract, and chewing behavior in dairy cows. The forages were coarse or fine corn silage with geometric means of 8.8±2.7 and 5.6±2.8 mm, and alfalfa with geometrics means of 7.0±3.3 mm, and fat supplements were neutral fat (palm) and soy-o...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with raw or heat-treated sunflower oil seed with two levels of 7.5% or 15% on unsaturated fatty acids in milk fat and performances of high-yielding lactating cows. Twenty early lactating Holstein cows were used in a complete randomized design. Treatments included: 1) CON, control (without sunflower oil seed). ...
