Abstract
Four ruminally fistulated Holstein cows were assigned to one of four total mixed rations (TMR) in a 4 × 4 Latin square with 3-wk periods to investigate the effects of added lipid from nonenzymatically browned soybeans or soybean oil on ruminal metabolism and milk fatty acids. All rations contained 50% forage and 1) 4% added lipid from soybean oil, 2) 4 or 6% added lipid from nonenzymatically browned soybeans, or 3) no added lipid (control). The TMR that contained nonenzymatically browned soybeans increased milk C18:2 by 35% compared with the TMR that contained soybean oil.A lactation trial was conducted in which 60 Holstein cows were assigned to one of five TMR from wk 3 to 18 of lactation. The TMR contained 1) 4.5% added lipid from soybean oil, 2) 1.5% added lipid from nonenzymatically browned soybeans and 3% from soybean oil, 3) 3% added lipid from nonenzymatically browned soybeans and 1.5% from soybean oil, 4) 4.5% added lipid from nonenzymatically browned soybeans, and 5) 4.5% added lipid from Ca salts of long-chain fatty acids. Dry matter intake was reduced by 11% for cows fed the TMR containing soybean oil only compared with that for cows fed the other TMR. Milk C18:2 and C18:3 were increased as the inclusion of nonenzymatically browned soybeans in the TMR increased. All percentages of the nonenzymatically browned soybeans fed to cows resulted in fat-corrected milk yields that were similar to those of cows fed the TMR that contained Ca salts of fatty acids.
