Effect of calcium salt of long-chain fatty acids and alfalfa supplementation on performance of Holstein bulls

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of calcium salt of long-chain fatty acids (CSFA) and alfalfa on beef cattle in the late fattening. 48 Holstein bulls were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups, feeding four dietary that Leymus chinensis with (LC) or with no (LN) 2.4% CSFA, and alfalfa replaced 50% Leymus chinensis with (AC) or with no (AN) 2.4% CSFA. The results indicated that alfalfa improved the feed conversion rate (P < 0.05). CSFA increased serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol… Show more

“…Before chemical analysis, excreta samples were dried at 57 °C for 72 h, after which they were ground to pass through a one-mm screen. Feed and excreta content of moisture and fat was determined according to the methods of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC, 2006) as decribed in literature (Muhammad et al 2016;Niu et al 2017;Xia et al 2018). Fat contents were determined by Soxhlet apparatus.…”

“…On day 35, ten birds were randomly selected from each treatment (2 birds per pen) for blood collection. Serum lipid profile was determined following the procedure of previous studies (Chen et al 2019;He et al 2018;Su et al 2013). Blood samples were then centrifuged at 3,000×g for 15 min and serum was separated.…”

“…Furthermore, collected samples were grounded in a grinder having 0.5-mm sieve. Grounded samples were further analyzed for chemical analysis as described in recent studies (Chen et al, 2019;He et al, 2018;Su et al, 2013).…”

“…Compared with the control group, elemental Mg supplementation decreased the relative abundance of the Prevotellace-ae_UCG-001 group, Ruminococcaceae_UCG-014 group, Mollicutes_RF9 group, and genus Bifidobacterium. The Prevotellaceae_UCG-001 group is a hemicellulose degrader (Thoetkiattikul et al, 2013;He et al, 2017). Members of the Ruminococcaceae_UCG-014 group can also be essential fiber degraders, as its abundance is positively associated with dietary NDF intake (Zhang and Wang, 2018).…”
