description | The potential combined effects of oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids supplementation on lactation performance and the milk fatty acid (FA) profile in dairy cows have not been well investigated. Our objective was to examine the effects of supplementation with a combination of these FA as well as the effects of removing each from the combination on lactation performance and the milk FA profile in dairy cows. Eight Holstein cows (101±11 days in milk) received four intravenously infused treatments in a 4×4 Latin square design, and each period lasted for 12 days which consisted of 5 days of infusion and 7 days of recovery. The control treatment (CTL) contained 58.30, 58.17 and 39.96 g/day of C18: 1 cis-9; C18: 2 cis-9, cis-12; and C18: 3 cis-9, cis-12, cis-15, respectively. The other three treatments were designated −−C18: 1 (20.68, 61.17 and 41.72 g/day of C18: 1 cis-9; C18: 2 cis-9, cis-12; and C18: 3 cis-9, cis-12, cis-15, respectively), −C18: 2 (61.49, 19.55 and 42.13 g/day of C18: 1 cis-9; C18: 2 cis-9, cis-12; and C18: 3 cis-9, cis-12, cis-15, respectively) and −C18: 3 (60.89, 60.16 and 1.53 g/day of C18: 1 cis-9; C18: 2 cis-9, cis-12; and C18: 3 cis-9, cis-12, cis-15, respectively). Dry matter intake and lactose content were not affected by the treatments, but the milk protein content was lower in cows treated with −C18: 2 than that in CTL-treated cows. Milk yield as well as milk fat, protein and lactose yields were higher in cows treated with −C18: 3 than the yields in CTL-treated cows, and these yields increased linearly as the unsaturation degree of the supplemental FA decreased. Compared with the CTL treatment, the −C18: 2 treatment decreased milk C18: 2 cis-9 content (by 2.80%) and yield (by 22.12 g/day), and the −C18: 3 treatment decreased milk C18: 3 cis-9, cis-12, cis-15 content (by 2.72%) and yield (by 22.33 g/day). In contrast, removing C18: 1 cis-9 did not affect the milk content or yield of C18: 1 cis-9. The −C18: 2-treated cows had a higher C18: 1 cis-9 content and tended to have a higher C18: 1 cis-9 yield than CTL-treated cows. The yields of C8: 0, C14: 0 and C16: 0 as well as <C16: 0 tended to increase linearly as the unsaturation degree of the supplemental FA decreased (P=0.06, 0.07, 0.07 and 0.09, respectively). These results indicated that supplementation with C18 unsaturated FA might not independently affect the lactation performance and the milk FA profile of dairy cows. |
