Vafa, Naserian, Heravi Moussavi, Valizadeh, and Mesgaran: Effect of Supplementation of Fish and Canola Oil in the Diet on Milk Fatty Acid Composition in Early Lactating Holstein Cows

Abstract

This study examined the effects of supplementation of fish oil and canola oil in the diet on milk yield, milk components and fatty acid composition of Holstein dairy cows in early lactation. Eight multiparous early lactation Holstein cows (42±12 DIM, 40±6 kg daily milk yield) were fed a total mixed ration supplemented with either 0% oil (Control), 2% fish oil (FO), 1% canola oil +1% fish oil (FOCO), or 2% canola oil (CO) according to a double 4×4 Latin square design. Each period lasted 3 wk; experimental analyses were restricted to the last week of each period. Supplemental oils were added to a basal diet which was formulated according to NRC (2001) and consisted of 20% alfalfa, 20% corn silage and 60% concentrate. Milk yield was similar between diets (p>0.05), but dry matter intake (DMI) was lower (p<0.05) in cows fed FO diet compared to other diets. Milk fat percentage and daily yield decreased (p<0.01) with the supplementation of fish and canola oil. The daily yield and percentage of milk protein, lactose and solids-not-fat (SNF) were not affected by diets (p>0.05). The proportion (g/100 g fatty acids) of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) decreased and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) increased (p<0.05) in milk of all cows fed diets supplemented with oil. The proportions of 6:0, 8:0, 10:0 12:0 and 14:0 fatty acids in milk fat decreased (p<0.01) for all diets supplemented with oil, but the proportions of 14:1, 16:0 and 16:1 fatty acids were not affected by diets (p>0.05). The proportion of trans(t)-18:1 increased (p<0.01) in milk fat of cows fed FO and FOCO diets, but CO diet had the highest proportion of cis(c)-11 18:1 (p<0.01). The concentration of t-10, c-12 18:2, c-9 t-11 18:2, 18:3, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6) increased (p<0.05) in FO and FOCO diets in comparison with the other two diets. These data indicate that including fish oil in combination with canola oil significantly modifies the fatty acid composition of milk.

INTRODUCTION

Due to increased demand for value-added foods with health benefits, strategies have been initiated to produce dairy products enriched with conjugated linoleic acid (Ip et al., 1999). Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a group of positional and geometrical isomers of linoleic acid (c9, c12 octadecadienoic acid) with conjugated double bonds. Two CLA isomers, c9, t11 and t 10, c12, have been reported as the most biologically active isomers (Bauman et al., 2001). Much recent research has focused on increasing the amount of c9, t11–18:2 and t11–18:1 (vaccenic acid) in milk fat and products because of reported health benefits such as protection against certain cancers, diabetes, immunity, atherosclerosis, bone growth and obesity (Parodi, 1997; Ip et al., 2003). Vaccenic acid is produced in rumen bacteria by the action of their isomerases and reductases from dietary PUFA, and is subsequently converted to c9, t11–18:2 by Δ9-desaturase in the tissues of ruminants (Griinari et al., 2000). Supplementing the diet of cows with long chain unsaturated lipid decreased the medium chain fatty acids (10:0, 12:0, and 14:0) and increased the 18:0 and 18:1 in milk fat (DePeters et al., 2001; AbuGhazaleh et al., 2002; Ward et al., 2002).
Fish oil which contains relatively high concentrations of two PUFA of the n-3 family, EPA and DHA, is an effective means of increasing CLA in milk fat, due to an inhibition of t-18:1 reduction in the rumen that results in an increased supply of t-11 18:1 which would be available for endogenous conversion to c9,t11–18:2 (CLA) in the mammary gland (Shingfield et al., 2003). Including FO in dairy diets also increased the content of EPA and DHA in milk, even though the transfer efficiencies of DHA (3%) and EPA (4%) into milk fat are very low (Chilliard et al., 2001). It has been shown that DHA has an inhibitory effect on reduction of t11–18:1 to 18:0 which results in a higher proportion of t11–18:1 in rumen bacteria (Lee et al., 2005).
The combination of marine lipids and 18:2 rich plant oils is an established strategy to modify ruminal biohydrogenation for increasing CLA in milk fat (Palmquist and Griinari, 2006). Canola seed, containing only about 6% 16:0 and up to 58% c-18:1 and with a much higher c-18:1 to 16:0 ratio than other common oilseeds, has potentially interesting characteristics to change the fatty acid profile of milk fat (Bayourthe et al., 2000). Our objective was to evaluate the effects of feeding fish oil and canola oil separately and in combination on milk yield, milk components and milk fatty acid profile in early lactating Holsteins.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Animals and diets

Eight multiparous Holstein cows in early lactation (42±12 DIM, 40±6 kg/d milk yield) were assigned to one of four dietary treatments according to a replicated 4×4 Latin square with four treatments, four periods, and two cows per treatment. Each period lasted 21 d, which included a 14-d diet adjustment period followed by a sampling period. There were four treatments consisting of diet with no supplemental oil (Control), and a basal diet supplemented with fish oil and canola oil at different levels which included 2% fish oil (FO), 1% fish oil-1% canola oil (FOCO), and 2% canola oil (CO). Net energy content of diets was calculated from the ingredient composition. Diets were composed of 60% (DM) concentrate mix, 20% alfalfa hay, and 20% corn silage and formulated to meet energy and protein requirements (NRC, 2001) of lactating cows producing 40 kg of milk and consuming 25 kg of DM/d (Table 1). Oils were added at a level of about 2% of dietary DM, resulting in a dietary ether extract content of 4.7%. Kilika fish oil (khazar Co, Babolsar, Iran), and canola oil (Golestan Soybean Co, Gorgan, Iran) were used in this experiment. The oils were added first to part of the bran and soybean meal to produce a premix, then, after mixing well, were added to the other part of the concentrate weekly. Concentrate mixtures and forage sources were mixed in a weighing and mixing unit and offered in TMR form twice daily to allow 5–10% orts (as-fed basis). Cows were housed in free stalls with continuous access to water and were milked daily at 0500, 1200, and 2000.

Sampling, measurement, and analysis

TMR mixtures were sampled daily during the sampling period and were stored in −20°C. At the end of each period, feed samples were pooled to obtain representative samples for final analysis which were stored at −20°C until the end of the experiment. Finally, all the feed samples were dried in a forced-air oven at 60°C, and stored in sealed plastic containers at room temperature until analyzed. Dried feed samples were ground through a 2-mm screen (Wiley; Arthur H. Thomas, Philadelphia, PA) and were analyzed for fat, ADF, NDF by wet chemistry procedures (Table 1) and for fatty acid composition using gas liquid chromatography (Table 2) (provide reference). Dry matter intake (DMI) and milk yield were recorded daily, but only data obtained on the sampling days of each experimental period were used for statistical analysis. Duplicate subsamples of milk were collected at the regular milking time over a 48-h period (six consecutive milkings) for two consecutive days of each period. One sample was stored at 4°C until analyzed for fat, protein and SNF (Micro Scan; FOSS Electric A/s, Denmark). The second sample was stored at −20°C until analysis for fatty acid composition using gas liquid chromatography.

Fatty acid analysis of milk

Total milk lipid was extracted using hexane:isopropanol (3:2 vol/vol) mixture at a 7:4 solvent:ration sample volume (Mire et al., 1999). Total fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) of milk lipids were prepared using methanolic sodium and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC Younglin Acme 6000 column bpx70 100*0.25*250 micron SGE company) equipped with a flame ionization detector and silica capillary column (30 m×0.32 (internal diameter) with 0.25-μm film thickness) with hydrogen as the carrier gas. Injector and detector temperatures were maintained at 235°C and 250°C, respectively. The temperature program was as follows: initial temperature of 75°C held for 1 min, increased by 8°C/min to 165°C and held for 35 min, increased by 5.5°C/min to 210°C, then increased by 15°C/min to 240°C. The split ratio was 10:1 and total fatty acid esters in a 1 μl sample were determined. All milk fatty acid results were expressed as g/100 g of total fatty acids.

Statistical analyses

Data were analyzed as a replicated 4×4 Latin square using the generalized linear model (PROC GLM, Inst, Inc) of SAS (1996) with the following model: Yijk = μ+Ti+Pj+Akijk, where Yijk is the dependent variable, μ is the global mean, T is the treatment effect, P is the period effect, A is the animal effect, and ɛijk is the residual error. Model effects were considered significant at p<0.05.

RESULTS

Results of supplementing diets with fish oil and canola oil on DMI, milk yield and components are presented in Table 3. DMI decreased on FO diet (p<0.05), but milk yield was not affected by supplemented diets (p>0.05). Fat corrected milk (4% FCM) and energy corrected milk (ECM) decreased (p<0.01) on oil supplemented diets. Milk fat percentage and yield decreased (p<0.05) on FO diet. Supplementing diets with fish oil and canola oil had no effect on milk protein, solids-not-fat (SNF) and lactose percentages and yields (p>0.05).
Fatty acid composition of milk fat was altered with fish oil and canola oil supplementation in diets of lactating Holsteins (Table 4). Short and medium chain fatty acids decreased (p<0.05) on all supplemented diets but long chain fatty acids were similar (p>0.05) between diets (Figure 1). In comparison with the control diet, the proportion of saturated fatty acids decreased on all supplemented diets with the lowest proportion on FO diet (p<0.05) and polyunsaturated fatty acids also increased (p<0.05) on supplemented diets (Figure 2). FO diet produced the lowest proportion of 6:0, 8:0 and 10:0 of all supplemented diets (p<0.01). The proportion of 12:0 and 14:0 decreased on all supplemented diets (p<0.01), with the lowest concentration of 14:0 on FOCO diet. However, the proportion of 14:1, 16:0 and 16:1 was not affected by experimental diets (p>0.05). The proportion of t-18:1 was increased for FO diet (p<0.05) and FOCO and CO diets produced a higher proportion of c11–18:1 (p<0.01). Concentrations of t10, c12–18:2 and c9, t11–18:2 (p<0.05) increased on FO and FOCO diets with the higher amount of c9, t11–18:2 on FOCO, but there were no significant differences in t9, t11–18:2 and c9, c12–18:2 between treatments (p>0.05). Milk fat of cows fed FO and FOCO diets had higher levels of 18:3, EPA and DHA in comparison with control and CO diets (p<0.01). The proportion of 20:4 and 22:0 was similar between diet (p>0.05).

DISCUSSION

Lower DMI is a typical response to fish oil supplementation, especially when the levels of fish oil increase in the diet (Whitlock et al., 2002; Palmquist and Griinari, 2006). The potential negative effect of feeding free oil on food palatability and ruminal fiber digestion occurs because of direct contact between lipids and rumen microorganisms which results in lower DMI (Bayourthe et al., 2000). Abomasal infusion of unsaturated fat, relative to no fat and saturated fat infusions (Benson and Reynolds, 2001), and increasing unsaturated fat supplements linearly decreased DMI (Harvatine and Allen, 2006). In the current experiment, DMI was decreased just on FO diet, which was probably because of its lower palatability. However, different form of canola oil in the diet (Jenkins et al., 1998; Bayourthe et al., 2000) and ground canola seed (Ward et al., 2002; Chichlowski et al., 2005) had no significant effects on DMI. Milk yield did not differ between diets. Donovan et al. (2000) reported no significant decline in milk yield until cows were consuming 3% (DM basis) FO, whereas, in the study of Whitloch et al. (2002) milk yield appeared to be numerically lower in cows consuming a 2% FO diet. Supplementing diets with oils rich in PUFA often results in a reduction in nutrient intake and milk yield (Chilliard et al., 2001; Lock and Shingfield, 2004). However, there are several previous reports which have reported no significant effects of supplemented oil on milk yield (AbuGhazaleh et al., 2003; Shingfield et al., 2005; Juchem et al., 2008) or an increased milk yield (AbuGhazaleh et al., 2004).
Milk fat percentage and yield were decreased in all oil supplemented diets (p<0.01). Other researchers (Ramaswamy et al., 2001; AbuGhazaleh et al., 2004) also reported depression in milk fat percentage when oil was incorporated in the diets of cows. Rapid availability of the oil in the diet and its potential effect on fiber digestibility (AbuGhazaleh et al., 2004), incomplete biohydrogenation and yield of various substrates and conjugated linoleic acid isomers, especially t10, c12–18:2 (Peterson et al., 2002), which inhibit de novo synthesis of some fatty acids in the mammary gland, are other possible reasons for milk fat decrement when oil is included in diets (Bauman et al., 2003). The results for fatty acid composition of milk fat (Table 4), showed that concentration of t10, c12–18:2 increased significantly on FO and FOCO diets, which is another possible reason for milk fat depression on these diets. Milk protein, lactose and SNF concentration and yield were not affected by oil supplementation in the current experiment. Milk protein percentage often decreases when supplemental fat is fed to lactating dairy cows (Chichlowski et al., 2005; Juchem et al., 2008). However, in the study of Jenkins et al. (1998), supplementing the diet with canola oil significantly increased milk protein concentration.
Supplementing dairy diets with C18-unsaturated lipid decreased short and medium chain fatty acids and increased the 18:0 and 18:1 contents of milk fat (DePeters et al., 2001; AbuGhazaleh et al., 2002; Harvantine et al., 2009), with the greatest increase observed when a high linoleic acid source was fed (Kelly et al., 1998; AbuGhazaleh et al., 2003a). Short chain fatty acids are mainly synthesized in the epithelial cells of the mammary gland of dairy cows, and their synthesis is susceptible to inhibition when the levels of certain long chain fatty acids is increased in milk fat (Chichlowski et al., 2005).
Most of the long chain fatty acid (>16:0) increased with supplemental oil in diets (Table 4), but there were no significant effects of diets on total (saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with more than 16 carbons) long chain fatty acids (Figure 1). Oleic acid (18:1) in milk fat is, in part, a consequence of stearoyl-coenzyme-A desaturase activity in the intestinal epithelium and mammary tissue (Depeters et al., 2001). Transfer efficiency of 18:1 from the diet to milk of 9% was reported for cows fed a diet supplemented with canola oil (Jenkins, 1998), so concentrations of 18:1 in blood and milk are mostly dependent on the rates of conversion of 18:0 to 18:1 by tissue desaturases (Chang et al., 1992). However, it has been suggested that dietary fat that is rich in C18- fatty acids would increase the 18:1 content of milk by 50 to 80% (Grummer, 1991). The FO diet had the highest proportion of milk t-18:1 and milk c11–18:1increased on FOCO and CO diets. Combining fish oil with extruded soybean increased t9–18:1 and c9–18:1 (Abughazaleh et al., 2004) and a higher proportion of t18:1 in milk fat has been reported, based on higher ruminal accumulations of t-18:1 intermediates, when fish oil is fed compared to plant oil, (Chilliard and Ferlay, 2004). Milk fat on all diets had a similar proportion of c9–18:1 (p = 0.22) which could serve as a precursor for several t-fatty acid isomers including t11–18:1. The c9–18:1 might have also interfered with biohydrogenation of other polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet, resulting in the accumulation of t-18:1 (Mosley et al., 2002). Therefore, t-18:1 isomers in milk are the result of incomplete biohydrogenation of unsaturated C18 fatty acids in the rumen (Shingfield and Griinari, 2007). Moreover, increment of these t10–18:1 spatial isomers has an important role in inhibition of de novo synthesis of short chain fatty acids and decrease in milk fat (Harvantine et al., 2009).
Feeding a blend of fish oil and an unsaturated fat source (Abughazaleh et al., 2002; Whitlock et al., 2002), and including high oleic and high linoleic sunflower seed with fish oil compared with a high stearic fat source (Abughazaleh et al., 2003), were more effective in increasing milk fat content of c9, t11–18:2 than feeding them separately. However, Piperova et al. (2002) showed that approximately 93% of c9, t11–18:2 appearing in milk fat is synthesized in the mammary gland from t18:1 via Δ9 desaturase, and Corl et al. (2001) reported that Δ9 desaturase activity is responsible for the yield of at least 65% of this isomer in milk fat. It has been reported that c9, t11–18:2 isomer has health benefits associated with its consumption and the t10, c12–18:2 isomer may be associated with decreased milk fat concentration and yield (Harvantine et al., 2009).
Milk fat of cows fed FO and FOCO diets had a higher level of 18:3 in comparison with control and CO diets. Similarly, the proportion of 18:3 increased when 14% (DM) ground canola seed was included in the diet (Chichlowski et al., 2005). There were higher concentrations of EPA and DHA in FO and FOCO diets. Transfer of dietary fish oil fatty acids from diet to milk fat, specifically EPA and DHA, is generally low (AbuGhazaleh et al., 2002; Whitlock et al., 2002) because of their high biohydrogenation in the rumen and also because of their association with plasma lipoproteins, which are not good substrates for mammary lipoprotein lipase (Mansbridge and Blake, 1997). In general, including fish oil and canola oil, either separately or in combination, causes a decrease in short and medium chain fatty acids and an increase in long chain unsaturated fatty acids in milk fat, and the combination of fish oil and canola oil appears to result in an increase in beneficial long chain unsaturated fatty acids, including c9, t11–18:2, in milk fat.

CONCLUSION

Results of the present study revealed that including fish oil in combination with canola oil would have less negative effect on DMI along with significant effects on milk fatty acid composition. Milk yield was not affected by including fish oil and canola oil in diets, but milk fat percentage and yield decreased on all supplemented diets. Supplementing the diet with fish oil and canola oil decreased short and medium chain fatty acids in milk fat and FO and FOCO diets produced a higher proportion of t10, c12–18:2 and c9, t11–18:2. The results from the current study show that including canola oil in combination with fish oil can effectively change fatty acid composition of milk fat.
