Abstract:Four adult rams (22.25±0.90 kg) were used in a 4×4 latin square design to evaluate the rations without (T 1 ) or with supplementation of sunflower acid oil at 5 (T 2 ), 10 (T 3 ) or calcium soap at 10% of dietary DM (T 4 ) on nutrient digestibility and balances of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus. The basal ration contained 60 parts Brazilian napier grass hay and 40 parts concentrate mixture. The DM, CF, NDF and ADF digestibilities and nitrogen retention (g/d) decreased (p<0.01) by inclusion of sunflower acid … Show more
“…The digestibility of fatty acid increases as unsaturation increases. Hence, the higher digestibility of EE and CP in RPF diets might be due to the lower ruminal biohydrogenetion and availability of large proportion of long chain unsaturated fatty acids in the small intestine for absorption [53].…”
Rumen protected fats (RPF) are known to improve animal performance without affecting rumen metabolism in sheep. However, comparative effects of prilled fat, prilled fat with lecithin and calcium soap have not been fully studied. Hence this experiment was planned using 36 male Dorper sheep in a completely randomized design in four treatment groups. The diets included: Basal diet (70:30 concentrate to rice straw) with no added RPF as a control (CON), basal diet plus prilled fat (PF), basal diet plus prilled fat with lecithin (PFL) and basal diet plus calcium soap (CaS). The trial lasted 90 days following two weeks adaptation period. The body weights, average daily gain and gain to feed ratio were not affected by treatments. The intake and digestibilities of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fibre were not affected, while those for ether extract and crude fibre differed (p < 0.05). RPF had no effect on concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, total volatile fatty acids and total bacterial population. The concentrations of rumen total saturated fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids, total n − 3, total n − 6, unsaturated fatty acids:saturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids:saturated fatty acids differed (p < 0.05) among the treatments with RPF supplementation. Hence supplementation of different types of protected fats did not influence animal performance in Dorper sheep.

“…Hal ini menandakan bahwa penambahan minyak pada level 4% dalam bentuk bebas belum mengganggu kecernaan bahan pakan. Sebaliknya hasil penelitian Alexander et al (2002) menunjukkan bahwa penambahan 5% minyak bunga matahari dalam bentuk bebas secara in vivo pada pakan 60% hay Brazilian napier dan 40% konsentrat sangat nyata (P<0,01) menurunkan kecernaan bahan kering, Protein Kasar (PK) , NDF, ADF, hemiselulosa, dan s e l u l o s a d i b a n d i n gka n d e n ga n ko n t ro l ( t a n p a penambahan minyak). Penurunan kecernaan bahan pakan semakin meningkat dengan penambahan 10% kecernaannya, apabila KCBK meningkat tentu KCBO juga akan meningkat.…”

Canola oil and flaxseed oil are vegetable oils as potential sources of unsaturated fatty acid that could improve the production and quality of beef meat. However, the use of vegetable oils need to be protected to avoid biohydrogenation by rumen bacteria. The research was aimed to analyse effect of flaxseed/canola oils calcium soap in the different buffer media on in vitro fermentation characteristic. The experiment was conducted in a factorial randomized block design with 2 factors and 3 blocks based on rumen sampling time. The first factor was sources of vegetable oils (canola and falxseed) and the second factor was type of buffer (Kajikawa and Mc.Dougall). Variables observed were pH value, N-NH3 concentration, total volatile fatty acid (VFA), dry matter and organic matter digestibility. Data obtained was analysed using Analysis of Variance and any significant different further tested using Duncan Multiple Range Test. The results showed that there was no interaction between sources of diet and buffer. Supplementation of canola and flaxseed oils protected by calcium soap at level 6% did not affect pH value, dry matter digestibility, rumen protozoa and total bacteria. The use of different buffers affected pH value, dry matter digestibility, rumen protozoa and total bacteria. It’s concluded that the used of flaxseed oil or canola oil calcium soap did not alter rumen fermentation and McDougall buffer could improve in vitro fermentation activity compare to Kajikawa buffer.
“…Hill and West (1991) reported that supplementation with 4.5% of calcium soap did not significantly affect the digestibility of energy. However, supplementation with calcium soap significantly increased ( p > 0.05) the TDN, DE and ME contents of the diets supplemented with protected fat at the 10-15% level (Alexander et al, 2002;Ramana Reddy et al, 2003).…”
Four complete isonitrogenous (crude protein 13%) rations with 0 (T1), 5 (T2), 10 (T3) and 15 (T4) per cent calcium soap from red palm oil (protected fat) were formulated and evaluated using four Deccani lambs (19.32 +/- 0.82 kg) in a completely randomized design at the end of a growth trial. The average daily dry matter intake (% body weight or g/kg W0.75 per day) in lambs fed ration T4 was significantly (p < 0.05) lower than in those fed rations T1, T2, and T3. There was no significant difference in the digestibility of proximate principles and cell-wall constituents except for ether extract (EE) and cellulose. EE digestibility was significantly (p < 0.05) higher by 15.71, 14.65 and 11.56 percentage units, respectively in lambs fed rations T2, T3 and T4 as compared to those fed ration T1. Ration T4 had significantly (p < 0.05) lower cellulose digestibility than rations T1, T2 and T3. Nitrogen and phosphorous balances (g/day) were not significantly (p > 0.05) different among the four rations. Calcium balance (g/day) was higher by 0.65, 1.39 and 1.40, respectively, in lambs fed rations T2 (p > 0.05) and T3 and T4 (p < 0.05) in comparison to those fed ration T1. Digestible crude protein and total digestible nutrients content (g/kg DM) of rations were not significantly (p > 0.05) different among the four rations. It is concluded that calcium soap from red palm oil can be supplemented up to 10% level as a concentrated energy source in the rations of Deccani lambs without any adverse effect on dry matter intake and cellulose digestibility.
