Technology at work for you

PROVIDING SOLUTIONS IN OILS AND FATS

Established in 2000, Wawasan Agrolipids Sdn Bhd (formerly known as Wawasan Tebrau

Sdn Bhd) was founded to explore new and novel oils and fats processing technologies.

This focus has culminated to the development of at least three industry defining

techniques in oil processing. Adding to the momentum, we built and established the first

rumen bypass fats plant in Malaysia in 2005. This production facility, located Pasir Gudang

which housed one of Malaysia’s largest concentration of palm processing and export

activities, now boast a monthly capacity of 9000MT of various kinds of feed fats catering

to the meat and dairying industries worldwide.

Feeding fats have now transcended way beyond the basic needs of energy provision and

with our in depth understanding of functional lipid technologies, our aim is to improve the

efficiency of the animal husbandry industries through a responsible offering of the most

competitive choices of feed fat products.

Choices of novel feed fats that work for you

UNDERSTANDING LIPIDS YOUR 1ST STEP TO CORRECT CHOICE OF FATS

FATS, FATTY ACIDS & SALTS CONCEPTS

Understanding the basic concepts of lipids (all about fat related products) allow the user

to explore more efficient options where fats are concerned. Knowledge and

understanding in oils and fats have seen great advancement during the past 25 years

especially in their contribution in nutrition and health to both animals and human.

Feeding fats to animals for energy is economical very viable due to higher calorific density.

While feeding fats to monogastrics is relatively straight forward, some strategies are

required when it comes to ruminants like dairy cows. Feed fats are offered in many forms

but generally categorized into 3 main types.

• Triglycerides – also commonly known as FAT BEADS is the scientific name that

explains the most common molecular formation of oils and fats. Molecularly, oil

(in liquid state) and fat (in solid state) are made up of 3 FATTY ACIDS joined with

a GLYCEROL. These products are usually hardened up to meet a certain melting

point for free flowing forms.

• Fatty acids – when triglycerides are cleaved of their glycerols, the fatty acids are

then freed from their joining and now called FREE FATTY ACIDS. The use of free

fatty acids have their founding in oleochemical based industrial and toiletry

applications. Since fatty acids are founding blocks of energy, they soon found

ready markets in animal feeding.

• Calcium salts – have their development mostly due to a specific need in the

ruminant industry to have a fatty acid product that will stay inert in the rumen.

The creation of a calcium salt using long chain fatty acids derived from palm oil

provided an important solution for dairy cows.

� The high milk yielding dairy cow is almost always in

deficit when it comes to energy especially during the 1st

third into the lactation period. Fresh from birthing,

hormonal promptings soon get the cow into a high milk

production gear, often to the detriment of its body

condition as insufficient nutrients and energy from feed for

milk are boosted by the same; scavenged from the body of

the animal. This condition of negative energy balance

requires immediate address to support milk production, for

reconditioning and for priming cows for fresh pregnancies

and the prevention of metabolic diseases related to

negative energy balance.

When feed intake has hit a limit, nutritional density in feed

must be pursued as an option to increase nutrient

contribution. Where energy contribution is concerned, the

use of FATS will definitely increase the energy density of

feed. However, due to the toxicity of some fats to rumen

microbes that may affect digestion and also the tendency

for certain fats to be converted to less digestible types

thereby eliminating the intended purposes, it is essential to

consider only fats that will stay inert in the rumen. These

are known as RUMEN BYPASS FATS.

Rumen inertness of fats is promoted by an increase in

melting point of a fat beyond 54 Degree Celsius. At this

temperature, ruminal microbes will have limited

affectations in terms of both toxicity and reactivity. In other

words, these fats bypassed the rumen into other regions

where their metabolism can take place without harming

the delicate balance of the rumen fauna.

FATTY ACID BEADS

CALCIUM SALTS

RUMEN BYPASS FATS TYPES EXPLAINED

FAT BEADS

FAT BEADS are now commonly produced for both all types of animals even though it has

found more acceptance with monogastrics than with ruminants due to their lower

digestibility. By increasing the melting point to more than 54°C, the fat beads can be used

as a rumen bypass fat. Fat processors can do this by hardening the fat through a

hydrogenation or through a special fractionation process to obtain a harder cut of fat.

They are usually bland in taste and odour and contained 99% crude fat content. Due to

lower digestibility, lecithin (right picture) is often added for better fat emulsification.

FATTY ACID BEADS

From the oleochemical processes of splitting, out came the offerings of fatty acids in

beaded form. These fatty acids were cleaved from fats of their glycerols, then fractionated

to obtain a hard fraction that has mostly C16:0 Palmitic fatty acid, which is then beaded

and packed. The product has higher digestibility rate, a clean look and high palatability.

Palmitic acid is also known to increase the butterfat content in milk.

CALCIUM SALTS

These are usually made from long chain fatty acids of palm oil, converted into a salt (also

sometimes called soap) with a melting point that is more than 150 Degree Celsius by

reaction with a calcium source. The resulting product is usually granular or powdery, has a

pungent and acidic nose and a crude fat content of between 80-85% due to the inclusion

of calcium. The digestion of the calcium salts is by way of acid disassociation in the

abomasum (4th & last stomach) where the low pH will cause the salt to break up into fatty

acids and calcium. The fatty acids will then be taken up in the small intestine for normal

fat storage and subsequent energy conversion. Calcium salts have the highest digestibility

amongst all bypass fats.

.

WHICH BYPASS FAT TO USE ?

Dairies are spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting the most suitable bypass fats. Much is

dependent on prices, milk prices, energy density, palatability, ease of handling and of late,

specific contribution to output and reproductive health.

When it comes to energy density, at the outset, it seems that 99% fat products would be the

best but there is a clear delineation between the ACID and FAT types in terms of digestibility.

Hard fats generally have lower digestibility and so there is less coming from the 99% fat

content that it possessed.

Acid types scores well in digestibility but due to its leaning of mostly saturated fatty acids, do

not provide any essential fatty acids for the all important Omega3 and Omega6 synthesis.

Calcium salts of palm oil seem to be the best bet for overall contribution of fatty acids for milk

production and health but fell short on palatability.

The best way forward seems to be to use a combination of different types basing on the

specific requirement of the dairy animal as long as cost and price of milk allows for it.

THE MANY BENEFITS OF USING

RUMEN BYPASS FATS.

• 2.25 times more energy than

carbohydrates

• Increase energy density in feed

• Increase milk yield

• Increase butterfat ratio

• Increase protein content in milk

• Return to positive energy

balance quickly

• Quick priming for fresh cows to

oestrus

• Higher 1st conception rates

• Reduce metabolic diseases such

as acidosis, milk fever

• Reducing heat stress

• Ease of handling

THE MINI PRIMER ON FATTY ACIDS

MORE THAN JUST CALORIES

• Polyunsaturated fatty acids such as C18:2 LINOLEIC and C18:3 LINOLENIC are required for Omega-6 and Omega-3 synthesis which is crucial

for health including reproduction.

• Most polyunsaturated fatty acids will not escape the rumen and will be hydrogenated to saturated fatty acids.

• Too much of polyunsaturated fatty acids can poison the rumen. That’s why very liquid oils from like soya, cottonseed, sunflower, corn etc

are not suitable for feeding ruminants in large quantities.

• High yielding dairy cows generally do not get enough polyunsaturated fatty acids in feed and suffer in conception rates.

• Mono-unsaturated fatty acids like the C18:1 OLEIC may improve meat and milk quality if protected in feed.

• Some medium chain fatty acids such as C12:0 Lauric have powerful anti-microbial properties.

• The C16:0 PALMITIC fatty acids raise butterfat content in milk.

• Dairy animals require balanced rations of various types of fatty acids to ameliorate and balance the effects of high milk production and

reproductive health.
