Amino Acid Considerations

Canola meal provides approximately as much digestible RUP/kg of meal as soybean meal

The amino acid profile of canola meal is close to microbial protein, providing slightly more methionine and histidine, but less lysine

The amino acid profile of the digestible RUP from canola meal may have advantages over soybean meal, corn-DDGS and other many other vegetable proteins

Amino Acid ModelsModels consider the amino acid needs for maintenance, growth and lactation

Models are never a complete representation of biology

Current models are unable to account for some aspects of metabolism that we know influence amino acid utilization:

Ancillary reactions not particularly related to protein synthesisInteractions with glucose requirements and the need for TCA intermediatesUse of EAA to synthesize NEAA for high demand labile proteinsPriorities of use

Canola meal seems to have an amino acid profile that is particularly suited to dairy cows

Amino acid composition

• Amino acid ratio of first limiting amino acids Lys : Met (NRC, 2001)• Canola meal 3.01:1• Soybean meal 4.37:1

• Formulating diets for amino acids pre-calving to post-partum (Garthwaiteet al., 1998; Liu et al., 2013)• +2.27 kg/d MY; +112 g/d MPY; +115 g/d MFY

• Increased Met in early lactation has ↑ glutathione and carnitine concentration in liver therefore ↑ beta-oxidation capacity and antioxidant prevalence (Osorio et al., 2014; Schwab, 2017)

Amino acid composition• ↑ Met supplementation affects methyl donor S-

adenosylmethionine and the antioxidant glutathione availability (Osorio et al., 2014)

• Knowing there is increased liver inflammation in the transition dairy cow…• Can we meet the demand of these amino acids in an appropriate

ratio more effectively with canola meal?

• Can this be leveraged when DMI is low and cows are more responsive to EAA supplies (i.e. early lactation)?

Summary

• Canola meal significantly increased milk yield in early lactation dairy cows

• No milk response was observed in response to increased CP from 16% → 18%

• CM fed cows tended to be more feed efficient and lower in MUN production

Substitution of canola meal with soybean meal in early lactation

Swanepoel et al. (2020) Anim. Feed Sci Technol. 264:114494.

▪ Cows were fed one of 3 diets:1) 14.5% CM2) 6.5% CM + 6.5% SBM3) 6.5% CM + 6.5% SBM + supplemental Met (7.9 g/d)

▪ Cows were assigned a treatment at 13.2 ± 0.11 DIM and fed treatments for 150 days.

▪ Diets were 17.0 to 17.5% CP, ~30% NDF, 19 to 18% starch, and ~5% fat.

Substitution of canola meal with soybean meal in early lactation

▪ CM-fed cows vs. SBM-fed cows (403 cows)▪ DMI: Averaged 28.3 kg/d (NS)▪ Milk: 51.3 vs 49.7 kg/d → +1.57 kg/d (P<0.01)▪ Milk fat %: 3.48 vs 3.49 % (NS)▪ Milk fat: 1.78 vs 1.73 kg/d → +0.04 kg/d (P<0.01)▪ Milk TP %: 2.84 vs 2.85 % → -0.01 % units (P=0.09)▪ Milk TP: 1.45 vs 1.41 kg/d → +0.04 kg/d (P<0.01)▪ BCS (342 cows): 2.98 vs 2.98 (NS)

Substituting SBM for CM reduced performance, possibly because of lower ruminal microbial CP flow to the small intestine.

• Need to determine why CM-fed cows produced more than SBM cows in early lactation:• Possibly an amino acid/essential amino acid supply difference.

Conclusions

• Need to determine why CM-fed cows produced more than SBM cows in early lactation:• Possibly an amino acid/essential amino acid supply difference.

• Possibly because of increased ruminal microbial protein flow to the small intestine.

• Further research is underway to investigate the impact of feeding canola meal during the transition period on production during lactation.
