Rapeseed oil was infused continuously into the duodenum of lactating dairy cows. Five separate trials were conducted with differences in amount of oil infused (1.0 to 1.5 kg/d), in lactation stage (early to late), and in basal diet (corn or grass silages). The effects of lecithin addition (9 g/d) also were studied.

Oil infusion did not affect the apparent digestibility of defatted organic matter. Fatty acid, ether extract, and total lipid digestibilities in control cows were 62 to 82%, 72 to 76%, and 59 to 73%, respectively. Intestinal apparent digestibilities of oil fatty acid and ether extract fractions were estimated to be 63 to 74% and 67 to 81%, respectively. Intestinal apparent digestibility of oil total lipids was only 20 to 57% due to a significant increase in nonfatty acid lipid excretion (160 to 750 g/d above control cows), which sharply decreased the energy value of the infused oil. Lecithin did not modify apparent digestibility in oil-infused cows.

Key Words: rapeseed oil • duodenal infusion • digestibility
