Lipases
– Lipid hydrolysis
• Two lipases are produced by the bacteria,
Anaerovibrio lipolytica
– One is cell bound
– One is extracellular
• Hydrolysis is a rapid, two-step process
– Slower on a high grain diet
– Intermediates are rapidly metabolized in the rumen
• Factors influencing lipid digestion
– Dry matter intake
» Decreases digestibility
– Amount of fat consumed
» Decreases digestibility
– Fatty acid saturation
» Decreases digestibility
– Fatty acid metabolism
• Minimal absorption or degradation of long
chain fatty acids in the rumen
• Lipids leaving the rumen
– 80-90% are free fatty acids bound to feed particles or
microbes
– 10% leaves as microbial phospholipids
– If not protected, small quantities of undigested fats
may pass
– More fat leaves the rumen than enters
• Long chain fatty acid alterations in the rumen
– Biohydrogenation
– Microbial synthesis of long-chain fatty acids
• Results of long-chain fatty acid metabolism

• Biohydrogenation
– Microorganisms
• Primarily bacteria, particularly cellulolytic bacteria
• Protozoa
–
–
–
–
Contain 75% of the microbial fatty acid in rumen
Not actively involved in biohydrogenation
Contains high concentrations of 18:2 CLA
Obtained by ingesting bacteria
• Fungi have capability for biohydrogenation, but make up
a small proportion of the microbial biomass
– Processes
• From Linoleic acid
– High roughage diet

– Why do bacteria reduce unsaturated fatty acids
• Mechanism to use excess hydrogen
• Detoxify unsaturated fatty acids
– Results of biohydrogenation
• High roughage diets
– High concentrations of CLA (cis-9, trans-11 18:2) and
vaccenic acid (trans-11) 18:1 in the rumen
• High concentrate diets
– High concentrations of trans-10, cis-12 18:2 and trans-10
18:1 fatty acids in the rumen
• On all diets
– High concentrations of stearic acid
• These fatty acids will be absorbed in the small intestine
and represent a high proportion of the fatty acids
presented to tissues
– Tissue metabolism of trans isomers of fatty acids
• Conversion of trans-11 18:1 to CLA (cis-9, trans-11 18:2)
– Occurs in mammary gland and adipose
– Major source of CLA (cis-9, trans-11 18:2) in meat
and milk

Anticarcinogenic
Reduces atherosclerosis
Alter body composition
Diabetes control
Improved immune response
Improved bone mineralization
• Milk fat depression in lactating dairy cows
– trans-10 18:1 produced from linoleic acid in cows fed high
grain diets will directly inhibit long chain fatty acid
synthesis in the mammary gland
• Reduces the vitamin E requirement of ruminants
• Indicates a low essential fatty acid requirement in mature
ruminants
– Microbial synthesis of fatty acids

• Bacterial synthesis
– C18:0 and C16:0
» From acetate and butyrate
– Long straight-chain, odd-numbered fatty acids
» From propionic acid or valeric acid at the initial step
» Increase in cobalt-deficient animals because vitamin B12
is needed for animals to use propionate for glucose
– Long branched-chain fatty acids
» From branched chain VFAs (Isobutyrate, Isovalerate) at
initial step
» Flavor components in meat and milk
– 15-20% of the bacterial fatty acids are monounsaturated
» Can not synthesis polyunsaturated fatty acids
– Bacterial synthesis increases on low fat, high concentrate
diets
• Lipid digestion in the small intestine
– Mechanism similar to nonruminants
– Ether extract digestibility in small intestine is
lower than in nonruminants
– Saturated fatty acids are better absorbed in
ruminants than nonruminants
– Unsaturated fatty acids are less absorbed in
ruminants than nonruminants
– Mechanism of lipid digestion in small intestine

Fatty acids < 14 C are transported directly in the blood
10% of the 18:0 is desaturated to 18:1
Long chain fatty acids combine with lipoproteins to produce VLDL and
chylomicrons
• Lipid transport in the blood
– Transport from the intestine
• Very low density lipoproteins
– Major transport structure from the small intestine
– Favored by saturated fatty acids
• Chylomicrons
–
–
–
–
Less prevalent than in nonruminants
Smaller than nonruminants
Contain 2x more phospholipid than nonruminants
Free:esterified cholestrol ratio is 4:1 compared to 1:1
for nonruminants
– VLDLs and chylomicrons contain apoprotein-C
• Inhibits liver removal of VLDLs and chylomicrons
• Activates lipoprotein lipase at muscle, adipose, and
mammary tissue
– VLDLs and chylomicrons are very short-lived in
ruminants
• 70% of lipids are on HDL
• 20% of lipids are on LDL
• Liver synthesis of lipoproteins
– Little synthesis of fatty acids in liver and
lipoproteins from intestinal mucosa are not
utilized by liver
– Liver synthesis of triglycerides are dependent on
the concentrations of circulating non-esterified
fatty acids (NEFAS) and glycerol from glucose
• If glucose is limiting glycerol synthesis and fatty acid
oxidation, the NEFAS are oxidized to ketones
– Synthesized triglycerides are incorporated into
VLDL to be transported throughout the body
• Fat depots
– Location
• Subcutaneous
• Inter and intramuscular sites
• Visceral sites
– Fatty acid composition
• General
– 80% of FA are 14:0, 16:0, 18:0, and 18:1
– Small amounts of 18:2 and very little 18:3
– Unsaturated fatty acids will have both cis and trans
isomers
– Odd-numbered chain length fatty acids
– Branched chain fatty acids
• Effects of body location of fatty acid
composition
– Subcutaneous fat has more unsaturated fatty acids
the inter and intramuscular fat which has more than
internal fat
– Most external subcutaneous fat and fat in limbs is
more unsaturated than more internal subcutaneous
fat
• Methods to alter fatty acid composition of
meat and milk
– Increasing the CLA content of meat or milk
• Feeding unsaturated fatty acids
– Dose-dependent
» Excessive amounts may inhibit intake and
digestion
– Greater with polyunsaturated oils than
monounsaturated oils
– Processed oil seeds
» More effective than whole seeds
» Less detrimental than pure oils
– Ca-salts
– Fish oil
• Grazing forages
– More effective than stored forages
– Most effective if forages are immature
• Breed differences
• Seasonal changes in CLA in dairies in NE Iowa

– Increasing the concentrations of polyunsaturated
fatty acids in meat and milk
• Processes
– Feeding whole oil seeds
– Binding of unsaturated fatty acids with Ca
• Limitations
– Expense
– Undegraded fat in the duodenum may reduce rumen
motility and feed intake
– Ca complexes are unpalatable
– Product quality concerns
• Fat supplementation of ruminant diets
– Amounts
• Added fat should be limited to 3-4% of diet DM
• Since normal diet contains 3% fat, the total dietary fat
should be limited to 6-7% of DM
– Types
• Unprotected oils
– Vegetable oils
» Highly unsaturated
» Expensive
» Most adverse effects on digestion, intake and
milk fat
– Animal fats (Tallow, grease etc.)
» Most commonly added to beef and dairy diets
» More saturated
» Less adverse effects
» Difficult to mix in cold weather
• Whole oil seeds
– Whole soybeans, cottonseed, high oil corn
– Increases proportion of oil escaping ruminal
metabolism
– Less adverse effects than free oils
– Easy to use
– Cost effectiveness
• Ruminally inert fats
– Types
» Ca salts of long chain fatty acids
» Prilled fat (Saturated fat processed in small
spheres)
– Escapes ruminal digestion of fat
– Less adverse effects than free oils
– Will reduce feed intake
– Expensive
» Use only if fat percentage from feed sources is
greater than 5% of the diet dry matter
– Advantages of fat supplementation
• Increase energy concentration of the diet
– Energy content of fats
» Gross energy of tallow is 9.4 Mcal/kg
» Digestible energy of fats = Metabolizable energy
» Little fermentative energy loss
• Can increase dietary energy concentration without
decreasing forage level of diet
– It is essential to maintain adequate forage in the diet
to minimize the negative effect of fat on milk fat
percentage indairy cows
– Also need to maintain adequate levels of nonfiber
carbohydrates (30-40%)
• Fats increase energy without increasing heat increment
• In lactating dairy cows, it may elevate fat test
– Particularly if protected fats are fed
– Milk fat depression may occur after use
• Improved reproduction
– Conception rate may be increased by 17%
– Mechanism
» Increased energy balance
Reduce insulin and increase progesterone
Increases follicle size and number
Reduce prostaglandin F2alpha
Increases persistence of corpus luteum
– Response may not occur if the cows use the
supplemental energy for milk production
• Improved diet characteristics
– Reduce dust
– Increase pellet strength
– Limitations of fat supplementation
• Reduced fiber digestion in the rumen
– Mechanisms
» Physically coating the fiber
» Toxic effects on microbes
» Decreased cation availability
– Free fatty acids are more toxic than triglycerides
• Reduced feed intake
– Mechanisms
» Reduced fiber digestion
» Reduced gut motility
» Reduced palatability
» Oxidation of fat in liver
• Milk fat depresssion
– Mechanisms
» Production of trans fatty acids
» Reduced fiber digestion
• Decreased mineral digestion
– Mechanism
» Formation of soaps with Ca and Mg
• Reduction in milk protein % in dairy cows
– Relationship
Milk protein, % = 101.1-.6381x+.0141x2
where x = total dietary fat, %
– Caused more by increased milk production than a
decrease in protein synthesis
– Approaches to limit negative effects of fat
supplementation
• Effects on intake, digestibility and milk fat
– Method of feeding
» Do not feed greater than 4% supplemental fat
» Feed small amounts several times daily
» Feed fats in total mixed rations (TMRs)
» Meet fiber requirement
– Type of fat
» Feed saturated fats instead of unsaturated fatty
acids
» Feed inert fats
Whole seeds
Calcium salts of long chain fatty acids
Prilled fat
• Effects on mineral absorption
– If feeding unsaturated fats, the amounts of Ca and
Mg fed should be increased by 20 to 30%
• Effects on milk protein percentage
– Supplementing ruminally undegraded amino acids
– Supplementing nicotinic acid at 12 gm/d
– Considerations in choosing a supplemental fat
source
• Inertness
– CaLFA or > Whole oil seeds > Tallow > Vegetable oils
Prilled fat
• Other nutritional concerns
– Protein
» In no protein needed, supplement tallow
» If degradable protein needed, supplement raw
seeds
» In undegradable protein needed, supplement
with undegradable protein source
Heat-treated soybeans
DDGS
– Fiber
» If fiber is needed, supplement whole cottonseed
– Antiquality factors
» Gossypol in whole cottonseed
Limit whole cottonseeds to 8 lb/day
• Price per pound of fat
– Protected fats ($1.50/lb fat)
– Oil seeds (.82-1.12/lb fat)
– Tallow ($.25/lb fat)
– Vegetable oil ($.49/lb fat)
• Timing of supplementation for dairy cows
– Delay supplementation of fat until weeks 6-7 of
lactation
» If can’t delay because of feeding TMR, limit
maximum supplementation to 2.5% of DM
– Fat supplementation should be terminated to prevent
the cow’s body condition to not go above 3.5 on a 5point scale
