Six cannulated cows were assigned to six treatments in a 6 x 6 Latin square design to evaluate the effects of fat saturation and amount and source of effective fiber on fatty acid metabolism. Cows were fed a control diet with no added fat or diets with 5% added fat from saturated tallow, tallow, or animal-vegetable fat; the diets with animal-vegetable fat had three percentages of effective fiber: 40% forage, 40% forage plus 20% soyhulls, or 60% forage. Cows fed diets supplemented with fat tended to have more disappearance of total fatty acids in the rumen than did those fed the control diet. Disappearance of fatty acids from the rumen, especially C16 and C18, was higher for cows fed the low fiber diet. The apparent digestibility of fatty acids in the small intestine was higher for cows fed the control diet than for those fed supplemental fat. Apparent digestibility also was reduced as fat saturation increased, primarily because of saturated tallow. Digestibility of C18:1 in saturated tallow was reduced, apparently in association with other saturated fatty acids. Fiber source had no effects on apparent intestinal digestibility of fatty acids. Concentrations of C18:0 and C18:1 in milk fat increased as the degree of fat saturation decreased, reflecting higher unsaturated C18 intake and ruminal biohydrogenation of polyunsaturated C18 fatty acids.
Key Words: fat saturation • effective fiber • fatty acid digestibility • milk fatty acids
