distributes the ‘Energizer’

range of premium rumen

protected fats produced

by IFFCO Malaysia from

refined, fully sustainable Malaysian palm oil sources and certified to

the GMP+ quality assurance standard.

Energizer RP10 is a pure 100% fat delivering both a high level

of palmitic acid (‘C16’, typically 88 – 92%) and the highest possible

dietary energy concentration. A white, free flowing flake, Energizer

RP10 is both palatable and highly digestible whilst its high melting point

ensures it remains rumen inert. It is therefore ideal for boosting both

milk yield and butterfat concentration, helping farmers take advantage

of milk compositional quality premiums or avoid quality penalties. Its

rumen stability means it is preferred over alternative protected fat

sources where high levels of supplementation are required and in

dietary situations predisposing to low rumen pH or low milk fat content,

eg TMR’s based on acidic silage and/or high starch content, spring

grazing etc. Energizer RP10 is also available in beaded form to facilitate

handling in the feed mill and inclusion in compound feed.

Energizer Gold is a calcium soap prepared using fresh palm fatty

acid distillate. Presented as a yellow/pale brown, free flowing granule

for ease of handling, the product retains much of the anti-oxidant

activity present in palm oil. It can be added to both compound feed

formulations or farm-prepared TMR’s to help increase energy density

and subsequent animal performance.

Monopropylene glycol (MPG), used as a readily absorbable energy

source for pre- and post-partum ruminants, is available in both liquid

(100%) and solid (60%) forms.

Offering a range of product

options to suit individual production needs. Whether you are looking

for molasses as a raw material ingredient of more specialist coating

products we can supply highly cost effective solutions to meet the ever

increasing demands of our industry.

In the global market Molasses prices have remained relatively

stable for some time but the dramatic changes in currency since the

Brexit vote has put upward pressure on UK molasses prices along with

other key feed ingredients. However molasses blends still represent

excellent value especially as sugars are now recognised as a key

nutritional component of an effective ruminant ration and are vital

in producing good quality pellets. It is therefore important to look at

maximising inclusions in compound feed formulations

The Millspec range offers cost effective options designed to

supply high levels of nutrition with ease of handling to ensure high

quality pellet production

Molglo/Blendflo: The market leader in coating product technology,

if one of our current range doesn’t fit the bill we will work together to

produce a bespoke solution tailored to our customers specific needs.

trouw nutrition GBTrouw Nutrition is active in the high energy supplements and rumen-

protected fat market with both a calcium soap and a high C16:0

product.

Maxfat CS is a proven calcium soap. Calcium salts of palm fatty acids

(84% fat) are particularly useful in compound feeds not only to boost

ration energy levels, but also to help improve pellet quality. However,

in situations where rumen pH is likely to fall below 6.0, the feeding of

calcium salts is not recommended because rumen fat protection may

be affected.

Butterboost 2 is a 100% fat, distilled from palm oil to raise the level

of palmitic acid (C16:0) to over 90% and is used to help support milk

butterfat as well as yield. It is the preferred fat for use in TMRs where

acidic silage forms a significant part of the diet or where rumen pH is

likely to fall below 6.0. Butterboost 2 has a rumen by-pass level of 95%

and a digestibility in excess of 90%.

Farm-O-San Pro-Keto is a liquid supplementary dietetic feed developed

to support high yielding dairy cows and help reduce the risk of ketosis.

It includes essential ingredients required for a good start to lactation

and the maintenance of healthy liver function - glycerine and propylene

glycol supply highly effective extra energy while niacin, choline and

vitamin B12 improve the efficiency of energy utilization. It may also be

fed to ewes around lambing when they are susceptible to twin lamb

disease (pregnancy ketosis).

Farm-O-San Pro-Keto Dry is a supplementary dietetic feed based on

chicory pulp and propylene glycol as energy sources, together with

niacin, choline and vitamin B12 to improve the efficiency of energy

utilization. It is designed for use in high yielding dairy cows, and ewes

around lambing, to help reduce the risk of ketosis.

Volac Wilmar Feed Ingredients (VWFI), a joint venture between Volac

and Wilmar International Ltd, has introduced an extended range of feed

fat supplements to complement the world-leading Megalac brand.

Megalac is a rumen-protected fat widely-proven to improve milk

yield and cow fertility. Manufactured for over 30 years, Megalac has a

global presence and is the key brand in the ‘Mega’ range of feed fats

significantly enhancing the physical appearance of the finished mix.

from Volac and VWFI.

Key products within the range include the established novel high-

C16 products developed specifically by VWFI called Mega-Fat 88 and

Mega-Fat Extra.

Mega-Fat 88 contains a high (88%) concentration of the active C16

raw material known to increase milk fat %. The minimal proportion of

the lower melting point (‘softer’) fatty acids in the formulation, produce

a highly rumen-bypass product which can help improve quality of

compound feeds compared to other typical high-C16 products.

Mega-Fat Extra is a further extension of the high-C16 range,

containing a very high concentration (97%) of C16 to deliver the

maximum proportion of the active fatty acid to stimulate milk fat

production and improved quality of high fat concentrate pellets.

Mega-Energy is an energy supplement with both C16 to increase

milk fat and C18:0 as an energy source.

For monogastrics, VWFI have introduced Mega-One, a solid

fat source of digestible triglycerides providing energy, together with

lecithin to promote better fat digestibility. High melting point fatty acids

improve meat quality.

FAtS For ruMinAntSBy Dr Richard Kirkland, Volac Wilmar ruminant nutritionist

Fat in dietsFat is an essential component of balanced diets and is often added to

increase energy density – crucially without increasing the acid load in

the rumen. However, fats are not simply energy sources and individual

fatty acids have different metabolic functions which help determine the

effect they may have on animal production.

Traditional forage/concentrate-based diets typically have a low fat

concentration (around 3% of diet DM) and increasing diet fat above

this level with vegetable or fish oils, or other high fat ingredients, can

lead to problems in the rumen, including:

Formation of an oil ‘slick’ preventing rumen bacteria from 1.

digesting fibre.

Fatty acid toxicity to strains of rumen bacteria.2.

Formation of milk fat-depressing 3. trans fatty acids.

Binding of minerals, reducing availability for bacterial growth 4.

and rumen function.

Table 1: Common fat supplement types

These issues can be reduced by use of rumen-protected (rumen-

inert) fats which pass through the rumen intact with the fat released for

digestion when it passes to the small intestine.

Fat supplementsThere is a plethora of rumen-protected fat supplements on the market

targeted to ruminant animals and in particular, dairy cows. A summary

of the primary product types is presented in Table 1.

Feed Compounder March/aPril 2017 Page 53

A further common group of fat supplements are those categorised

as ‘high-C16’ fats, containing close to 100% fat and characterised

by palmitic acid (C16:0) concentrations typically 80% or above and

near-neutral odour. Several studies have demonstrated the milk fat-

stimulating effect of C16:0, with potential mechanisms including an

increased absorption efficiency from the blood, preferential usage for

milk fat triglyceride synthesis and stimulation of triglyceride synthesis

through preferential attachment of C16:0 at specific sites on the

triglyceride.

As demonstrated in Tables 3 and 4, responses to C16:0

supplementation (2% of dietary DM) are variable and may reflect

differences in stage of lactation, basal diet fat concentration and

genetics amongst others. These data indicate differential use of the

C16:0 fatty acid supplements in support of milk and milk fat production

and it is important to remember that the greater the proportion of the

C16:0 supplement used for milk fat production, then the lower the

proportion available for oxidation to supply energy for milk and other

productive purposes.

Calcium salts are most-commonly based on palm fatty acid distillate

(PFAD). Digestibility is high (reflecting their content of unsaturated fatty

acids), which contributes to the high net energy (NE) value, (27.3 MJ/

kg DM) measured in-vivo (Andrew et al., 1991). Furthermore, the post-

ruminal delivery of unsaturated oleic acid (C18:1), a known amphiphile,

to the small intestine can also act to improve digestion of total fat in

the ration, leading to improved feed efficiency and increased energy

available from the diet.

Rumen stability is an important aspect of calcium salts and can vary

by fatty acid composition and physical structure (grist size). Research

undertaken with calcium salts of PFAD has reported rumen stability of

90% even at pH as low as 5.5 (Sukhija and Palmquist, 1990).

In addition to increased milk production, improved fertility is a key

target with calcium salt supplementation, with potential mechanisms

including improved energy status, increased progesterone production

and improved viability of ovulated eggs. As highlighted in Table 2, cows

offered a higher fat diet containing calcium salts had a significantly

higher rate of blastocyst production from both in-vitro fertilised (IVF)

oocytes and cleaved embryos. Similarly, higher total and trophectoderm

cell numbers indicate better quality blastocysts that may improve their

subsequent development.

higher-fat diet

Fouladi-Nashta et al. (2007)

Many of the high-C16 supplements available have an unsaturated

fatty acid concentration of 10% or more. These ‘softer’, low melting

point, fatty acids are potentially released in the rumen where they may

exert negative effects as noted previously.

Hydrogenated fats available in Europe have primarily been based

on PFAD, resulting in products with a more-balanced supply of C16:0

and C18:0 with the characteristic aroma of the raw material. At near

100% fat these supplements commonly have a C16:0 contribution to

promote milk fat, while data indicates a potential tissue preference for

C18:0 as a metabolic energy source to promote milk yield and productive

functions compared to straight C16:0 sources. However, research

indicates that digestibility of C18:0 declines with increasing supply,

such that these products can have lower digestibility and NE than the

calcium salt products. These formulations are useful supplements as

general energy sources to increase milk and milk solids.

While those fat supplements discussed previously have been

based on free fatty acids, a further category of product commonly

included in animal feeds for ruminants, as well as monogastrics, is

based on triglycerides. These products are often highly saturated, with

the primary fatty acid as C16:0 and contain a proportion of glycerol

which may contribute to glucose supply in the lower digestive tract.

Though triglycerides can provide an energy source and a supply

of milk fat-boosting C16:0, they are generally considered the least

digestible for ruminants, with rate of ruminal lipolysis indicated as

the limiting factor. Hence, NE supply from these product types is

typically lower than the near-100% fat content may indicate, though as

triglycerides they are less likely to stimulate hypophagic sensors in the

upper small intestine than are free fatty acids. These formulations are

useful supplements as generic energy for ruminants (and monogastrics)

to increase energy density.

With so many options available it is important to have clear

unbiased advice on what type of feed fat to use for ruminants to meet

specific objectives at farm level.
