AbstractFour metabolism trials were conducted. Trials 1 and 2 (Tl, T2) investigated degree of saturation of fats (ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids, U/S) on digestible energy (DE) content. Fats evaluated were rape oil (RO) and tallow (T) for Tl (U/S 15·67 and 0·97 respectively) and RO and palm oil (PO) for T2 (U/S 15·33 and 0·85 respectively). Three fats of intermediary U/S for each trial were produced by blending the two fats in proportions to give U/S of 3·18,2·08 and 1·49 in both trials. Trials 3 and 4 (T3, T4) investigated the effect of free fatty acid (FFA) content of fats on DE value. Fats were soya-bean oil (SO) and soya-bean acid oil (SAO) for T3 (FFA 6·2 and 626·0 g/kg respectively) and T and tallow acid oil (TAO) for T4 (FFA 44·3 and 818·2 g/kg fat respectively). Three fats of intermediary FFA for each trial were formed by blending the two fats in the ratios of 72:25, 50: 50 and 25: 75 in both trials. The FFA content of the blends were 161·2, 316·1 and 471·1 g/kg fat for T3 and 237·8, 431·3 and 624·7 g/kg fat for T4. All trials evaluated five fats by substitution, at 40, 80 and 120 g/kg into a basal diet, in a cross-over design, with 16 gilts of 25 kg initial live weight evaluating 16 diets over four time periods. Diets were offered for 10 days followed by a 5-day collection period using the marker to marker technique. Fat content of food and faeces, with methodology based on acid hydrolysis, allowed calculation of apparent digestible fat (AFD) of experimental diets. Analysis of variance gave effects of fats (P < 0·001 for Tl, T3 and T4 and P = 0·014 for T2), rates of inclusion (P < 0·001 for all trials), and fats × rates (P > 0·05, P > 0·05, P < 0·001, P < 0·01 for T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively). Extrapolation of the function obtained by regressing AFD of diets (y) on rate of inclusion of fat (x) to × = 1000 generated values for the fats. The product of the coefficient of apparent fat digestibility of fats and their respective gross energies gave DE values for fats which were MJ/kg: T1 RO = 35·8 and T = 31·2; T2 RO = 36·7 and PO = 33·1; T3 SO = 374 and SAO = 32·8 and T4 T = 33·8 and TAO = 28·9. Data for fat blends intermediary between the two fats showed that DE improved exponentially as a function of U/S and that DE declined linearly with increasing FFA content.

AbstractThe effect of degree of saturation (ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids, U/S) and free fatty acid (FFA) content of fats upon their digestible energy (DE) values was investigated in post-weaning pigs. The two fats evaluated were soya-bean oil (SO) and tallow (T) (representing extremes of saturation) together with their acid oils (SAO and TAO respectively) providing high FFA levels). Blends of the four fats provided treatments with varying FFA content and U/S ratios. The experimental fats were evaluated by substitution, at 40, 80 and 120 g/kg into a basal diet, in a randomized-block design, with 98 gilts and 98 boars of approximately 12 kg live weight. Pigs had been weaned at 28 days of age and experimental diets were given 7 days after weaning. When pigs obtained a weight of 10 kg the inert marker titanium dioxide was added to the diets as a reference substance. A 5-day adjustment period was allowed followed by a 5-day collection period of faeces by grab sampling. Fat content of food and faeces, with methodology based on acid hydrolysis, allowed calculation of apparent digestible fat (AFD) of experimental diets. Analysis of variance demonstrated effects of fats, rates of inclusion, and fats × rates (P < 0·001 in all cases). There was no effect of sex. Extrapolation of the function obtained by regressing AFD of diets (y) on rate of inclusion of fat (x) to × = 1000 generated values for the fats. The product of the coefficient of fat apparent digestibility of fats and their respective gross energies gave DE values for fats which were: SO = 37·2 MJ/kg, SAO = 35·0 MJ/kg, T = 34·3 MJ/kg and TAO = 27·4 MJ/kg. Data for fat blends intermediary between these fats showed that DE improved as a function of U/S and that DE declined linearly with increasing FFA content.

Previous studies have examined the effect of the degree of saturation (as measured by th3 ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids, U/S) and free fatty acid (FFA) content on the digestible energy (DE) value of fats fed to growing/ finishing pigs. However, there have been no detailed studies with the immediate post-weaning pig, which was the objective of the current programme.Two fats of differing degrees of saturation (U/S) and their respective acid oils of high free fatty acid (FFA) content were obtained for evaluation. Fats were Soyabean Oil (SO), Soyabean Acid Oil (SAO), Tallow (T) and Tallow Acid Oil (TAO).

ABSTRACTTwo fats, soya-bean oil and tallow, were blended in the ratios 70: 30, 50: 50 and 30: 70. The ratios of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids (U/S) of the blends were 3·18, 2·08 and 1·49 respectively; values for soya-bean oil and tallow were 6·69 and 0·93. These five fat sources were each included into a basal diet at levels of 40, 80 and 120 g/kg. The digestible (DE) and metabolizable (ME) energy together with the apparent fat digestibility (AFD) of the experimental diets were measured in a metabolism trial based upon four 4 × 4 Latin squares using 16 gilts of 30 kg initial live weight. Linear equations relating dietary DE and ME values to level of inclusion of fat were extrapolated to 1000 g/kg to obtain values for the fats. DE values for soya-bean oil and tallow were 38·06 and 34·16 MJ/kg respectively. Corresponding data for ME were 35·63 and 32·53 respectively. These figures were used to calculate values of the mixtures. Data thus derived did not differ significantly from those determined directly, indicating that there was no synergism between the two fats. DE values of fats determined as the product of AFD of fats and their gross energy followed similar trends. The majority of the increase in values of fats was associated with a change in the U/S ratio from 0·93 to 2·08.

ABSTRACT1. A trial was carried out with 96 purebred Large White and Landrace pigs to assess the optimum content of skimmed milk in diets given from 20 to 90 kg.2. Pigs on treatment 1 (control) received a barley and soya bean diet providing 12·9 MJ digestible energy per kg and 161 g crude protein per kg until they reached 54 kg and 144 g crude protein per kg thereafter. Those on treatments 2 to 4 received 3·5, 4·5 and 5·75 1 skimmed milk per day, respectively, from 28 kg live weight, after a gradual increase from 2·0 I/day at 20 kg; this was given with a basal barley diet which provided 12·9 MJ digestible energy per kg and 111 g crude protein per kg. All diets were given according to scales to permit all pigs equal daily intakes of digestible energy. Treatments 1 and 2 were approximately isonitrogenous.3. In order of treatment, average daily gains (g) were 658, 712, 743 and 737 (s.e. of difference, 15) and food: gain ratios were 3·06, 2·73, 2·63 and 2·60 (s.e. of difference, 0·05). There were no important treatment effects on linear carcass measurements.4. It appeared that lysine supply was a major determinant of the results obtained.5. The greatest daily gains were achieved when a minimum of 4·5 1 of skimmed milk was given daily with the basal diet; this approximates to an average skimmed milk: meal ratio of 2·8 I/kg.

The use of full-fat rapeseed in non-ruminant animal feeding has for long been limited by the presence of anti-nutritive components. However, triple-low varieties have a considerable potential as a source of both protein and dietary energy in diets, although there is the need for precise information on the relative nutritive value of full-fat rapeseed and the resulting extracted oils and meals before they may be effectively and economically incorporated into animal diets.The rapeseed products evaluated comprised ground full-fat rapeseed (FFRS) extracted rapeseed meal (RSM) and rapeseed oil (RSO) all from a triple-low variety, Brassica campestris SVO 333, obtained from Dalgety-Panmure Co. Angus, U.K. The RSO, RSO plus RSM (ORSM) and FFRS were included to give levels of added oil of 40, 80 and 120 g/kg at the expense of the energy-yielding ingredients of the basal diet (Table 1). The RSM was incorporated into the basal at the same rates as in ORSM. All experimental diets were fed to 13 Landrace x (Landrace x Large White) gilts of 46kg average initial live weight in a metabolism trial conducted over four successive time periods. A ten-day acclimatisation in holding pens preceded a 5-day total collection of faeces (using indigo carmine as marker) and urine (facilitated by indwelling bladder catheter) in metabolism crates. The rapeseed products, diets, oven-dried faeces and freeze-dried urine were analysed for gross energy (GE) and (except urine) for oil content. Apparent digestible energy (DE) of test materials were derived by regression analysis. DE of oil was also derived indirectly as a product of oil digestibility and oil GE.

AbstractData from experimental programmes designed to investigate the effect of chemical structure of fats upon their apparent digestible energy (DE) value for pigs were subjected to regression analysis. For growing pigs, over the approximate live-weight range 30 to 90 kg, 25 data points were available, with fats evaluated having a range in the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids (U/S) from 0·66 to 15·67 and in free fatty acid (FFA) content from 8 to 818 g/kg. Sixteen data points were available for young pigs of approximately 12 kg live weight with a range in U/S from 0·62 to 5·71 and in FFA content from 54 to 756 g/kg. The wide range of values for U/S and FFA content had been obtained by blending different fats and, therefore, represented both the range and extremes likely to be found in the formulation of pig diets. Derivation of prediction equations for DE were based upon a series of non-linear regression analyses employing, in sequence, U/S, U/S + FFA content and U/S × FFA content. The DE offats could be predicted from U/S and FFA content with equations accounting for 0·802 and 0·768 of the variation in DE values for growing and young pigs respectively. The most appropriate equation for pigs of all live weights employed U/S and FFA content additively (U/S + FFA content). The equation for growing pigs was DE (MJ/kg) = 36·898 – (0·0046FFA (g/kg)) — 7·33e(–0·906U/S) and for young pigs was DE (MJ/kg) = 37·890 — (0·0051FFA (g/kg)) –8·20e(–0·515U/S). Comparisons revealed that differences between the two age groups, with lower values achieved with younger pigs, -were more pronounced the lower U/S and the higher FFA content of the fat.

ABSTRACTFifty-one ewes with single lambs and 87 ewes suckling twin lambs (mean ewe live weight, 67 kg) were given a basal diet of 1·0kg hay and 1·0kg whole oats, providing approximately 16·7MJ metabolizable energy and lOOg digestible crude protein per day. Three supplements (A, B and C), providing an additional 45 g digestible crude protein, were compared. Supplement A consisted of 40 g of a fully-soluble liquid product (LS) containing urea, (equivalent to 1090g crude protein per kg), minerals and vitamins; B was 16g urea with solid minerals and vitamins; and C was 125g soya bean meal given in substitution for the same amount of whole oats plus solid minerals and vitamins. The growth rate to 6 weeks for single lambs (11 kg) was unaffected by treatment. For twin lambs the growth rates were 7·5kg (LS), 7·1kg (crystalline urea), 7·8kg (soya) and 6·4k g (unsupplemented) (s.e. of mean = 0·31 kg). Ewes with twin lambs given crystalline urea or LS lost more live weight (approximately 1·04kg) than those given soya (6·6kg) over the first 6 weeks of lactation. The maintenance of normal concentrations of calcium and phosphorus in the blood of ewes suggested that the low total intakes of approximately 4·1 g calcium and 4·7 g phosphorus by the ewes were not inadequate.

Apparent and partial digestible energy values for α-amylase (EC 3. 2. 1. 1)-resistant, retrograde starches, isolated from cooked maize and pea starches (RMS and RPS respectively), were determined in male Wistar rats (about 180 g) during a 28–29 d balance period with ten animals per treatment. The starches were provided as supplements (100 g/kg diet) to a semi-synthetic basal diet (B), and their effects on the apparent digestibilities of nitrogen and fat, and on gains of live weight, fat and lean tissue were examined. Diet B alone was the control; sucrose (Su) and Solka-floc cellulose (SFC) were also examined for reference. Apparent digestibilities for Su, SFC, RMS and RPS were 1.0, 0.16, 0.98 and 0.89 respectively. Whereas the apparent digestibilities of gross energy, N and fat in the diet were unaffected by supplementation with Su, each was decreased by supplementation with SFC, RMS and RPS. Partial digestible energy values calculated from the intakes and faecal losses of energy in the basal and supplemented diets were 15, 12.4 and 0.8 kJ/g for RMS, RPS and SFC respectively. These values were smaller than corresponding apparent digestible energy values calculated from the apparent digestibility of the supplement and its gross energy value. Only the Su and starch supplements increased the intake of apparent digestible energy and the gain of live weight. Both starches and Su increased total energy (and fat) deposition to almost similar extents. It is concluded that the resistant starches contribute significant dietary energy, enhance growth and elevate fat deposition to extents almost similar to Su.

1. Total methane excretion (CH4 in breath+flatus) was measured in two experiments with thirty-six castrated male pigs (Danish Landrace) during the growth period from 20 to 120 kg live weight (LW). In Expt A, twenty-eight pigs were fed on a commercial diet alternately at high (HFL; metabolizable energy (ME) 1234 (SE 41) kJ/kg LW0.75) or low (LFL; ME 784 (SE 31) kJ/kg LW0.75) feed levels in different weight classes. In Expt B, eight pigs were constantly fed on a semi-purified diet at HFL without (-oil) or with 90 g soya-bean oil/kg diet (foil) corresponding to daily intakes of ME of 1339 (SE 11) and 1413 (SE 8) kJ/kg LW0.75 respectively.2. CH4 excretion was measured during 24 h respiration trials in open-air-circulation chambers.3. About 1 litre CH4 was excreted per day at 20–25 kg LW increasing to a maximum of 12 litres at 120 kg LW, which corresponded to no more than 1.2% of dietary gross energy.4. In Expt A, CH4 excretion increased linearly with LW, while in Expt B the increase was linear until about 70 kg LW, when it reached a plateau. On average LFL reduced CH, excretion by 23% compared with HFL. When related to dry matter (DM) intake, however, the pigs on LFL excreted 3.1 litres CH4/kg dietary DM and those on HFL 2.5 litres CH4/kg dietary DM, the difference being significant (P < 0.05). In Expt B the inclusion of soya-bean oil in the basal diet (+oil) reduced CH, excretion by 26% compared with the diet without oil (-oil). The pigs receiving the basal diet excreted 5.2 litres CH4/kg DM and the pigs receiving soya-bean oil 4.3 litres CH4/kg DM, the difference being highly significant (P < 0.001). All differences between Expt A and B in CH4 excretion based on DM intake were highly significant (P < 0.001).5. The results are discussed in relation to gas production in ruminants, rats and humans. It is suggested that flatus production may not only be reduced by changing the composition of the dietary carbohydrates, but also by inclusion of a polyunsaturated oil in the diet of simple-stomached animals and humans.

Major Chemical

In addition to the degree of saturation, the second major chemical variable that influences the dietary energy value of fats is the free fatty acid (FFA) content. Whilst it is appreciated that the digestible energy (DE) value of a hydrolysed fat (i.e. with a high FFA content) is lower than that of the same fat prior to hydrolysis, quantifying the response remains to be studied. Previous attempts to evaluate the effect of increasing FFA content have often been confounded with variability in degree of saturation. Accordingly it was the objective of the current study to examine the DE value of fats of varying FFA content but of constant degree of saturation.
