ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to evaluate the behaviour
of fibre in the digestive tract on the basis of the passage kinetics of forage
and concentrate particles in cows fed different omega-6 fatty-acid sources.
The scientific hypothesis of this study was that omega-6 fatty acids do not
interfere with the digestion of fibre in the diets of dairy cows. Five primiparous
lactating Holstein cows were used in the experiment. The experimental
diets were: control (C), ground soyabean (GS), cottonseed (CS), soyabean
oil (SO), calcium salts of fatty acids (CSFA). The global mean estimates for
the parameters of passage rate (γ) were 0.038 and 0.055 h–1 for forage and
concentrate, respectively. The only significant effect with respect to the passage
rate was a high negative correlation between the concentrate passage rate and
dry matter intake. There was less undegradable neutral detergent fibre (NDF)
in treatments without added lipid. Dietary supplementation with lipid sources
does not alter the kinetic parameters of roughage and concentrate particle
passage or in vitro NDF degradation. Sources of omega-6 fatty acids do not
alter the rumen degradation and transit of fibre.
