ABSTRACT: The increased utilization of Brassica carinata in the biofuel industry in Canada

25

has resulted in the large scale production of coproducts that can be potentially exploited as

26

alternative protein ingredient in dairy ration. The objectives of this study were to investigate the

27

nutritive value of carinata presscake and meal for dairy cows in terms of (1) nutrient and anti-

28

nutrient composition; (2) rumen degradation kinetics of organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP)

29

and neutral detergent fiber; (3) hourly effective degradation ratio and potential N to energy

30

synchronization; (4) intestinal digestion of rumen undegraded protein (RUP); and (5) total

31

metabolizable protein (MP) supply to the small intestine. Samples (n=3) of carinata meal,

32

carinata presscake and canola meal (as reference feed), collected from three consecutive batches,

33

were evaluated. Compared to canola meal, carinata presscake and meal had greater (P < 0.05)

34

contents of CP (39.7% vs. 48.5%, 53.5% dry matter (DM)), with a high proportion of soluble

35

crude protein (24.0% vs. 53.0%, 72.6% CP), resulting in their extensive degradation (59.2% vs.

36

76.3, 89.3% CP) in the rumen. As a result, carinata presscake and meal supplied smaller (P
99%),

87

sodium tungstate (Na2WO4·2H2O; purity 100%), boric acid (purity > 99.5%), sulphuric acid

88

(purity 70%), ethyl ether (purity 99%), sodium borate (Na2B4O7·10H2O; purity 99.5%),

89

hydrochloric acid (purity 38%), acetone (purity ≥ 99.5%), potassium phosphate (purity > 99%),

90

sodium sulfite anhydrous (purity 98.4%), kjeltabs (0.15 g CuSO4 and 5.0 g K2SO4; N < 0.005%)

91

and potassium hydroxide (purity 85%) were purchased from Fisher Scientific (Ottawa, ON,

92

Canada). The enzymes, pepsin and pancreatin, were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Co. (St.

4



93

Louis, MO, USA). The Neutral detergent fiber solution containing 30 g sodium dodecyl

94

sulphate, 18.61 g ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid disodium salt, 6.81 g sodium borate, 4.56 g

95

anhydrous sodium phosphate diabasic,10 ml triethylene glycol and heat-stable α-amylase (17400

96

liquefon units/ml), and acid detergent fiber (ADF) solution containing 20 g cetyl trimethyl

97

ammonium bromide in 1 N sulphuric acid were purchased from Ankom Technology (Macedon,

98

NY, USA).

Carinata Processing

101

In this study carinata meal and carinata presscake were evaluated in comparison with

102

commercial canola meal as a reference feed. The cold-pressing of carinata seeds from three

103

consecutive batches was carried out in POS Bio-Sciences (Saskatoon, SK) according to the

104

approved method of Agrisoma Biosciences Inc. (Saskatoon, SK). From each batch three samples

105

of carinata presscake were collected, and no added heating was used during the cold-pressing.

106

Similarly, three batches of carinata meal were produced from seeds received in three consecutive

107

batches at Agrisoma Biosciences Inc. (Saskatoon, SK). For the meal production, mixed-colored

108

carinata seeds (yellow and brown) were weighed, transferred into a 4 L plastic pail, and sprayed

109

with water to maintain moisture content of 2.5%. After thorough mixing, the tempered seeds

110

were flaked using the lab flaking mill and heated in beakers in a microwave oven (DMW904W,

111

Findlay, OH, US), operated at a power of 900 W (1.33 W/g) and an irradiation frequency of

112

2450 MHz for 2.5 min. Then all beakers were covered and transferred to a conventional oven for

113

20 minutes at 95±3 °C. Later, the cooked flakes were pressed through a 5/16 die plate using the

114

Gusta Laboratory Press (Gusta Manufacturing, Winnipeg, MB), and extracted oil during the

115

crude-pressed process was collected. The laboratory Soxhlet extractor was then used to extract

5

116

the residual oil using 6 liters of fresh hexane for 4 h. Lastly, the carinata meal was placed in a

117

fume hood for a minimum of 36 h for air desolventizing. Three samples were collected from

118

each batch of carinata meal. Samples from three batches of canola meal (n=3 from each batch)

119

were provided by Federated Cooperatives Limited (Saskatoon, SK) as a reference.

120 121

Chemical Analysis

122

For chemical analysis the meals and presscake samples were ground (Retsch ZM-1, Brinkmann

123

Instruments Ltd., Mississauga, ON, Canada) through a 1-mm screen, whereas for in situ

124

incubation studies the samples were ground through a 2-mm screen. The contents of dry matter

125

(DM; method 930.15), ash (method 942.05), crude fat (Cfat; method 954.02) and CP (method

126

984.13) were analyzed according to the official methods of AOAC.14 The neutral detergent fiber

127

(NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and acid detergent lignin (ADL) were analyzed according to

128

the method of Van Soest et al.15 using the ANKOM A200 filter bag technique (ANKOM

129

Technology Corp., Fairport, NY, US). Neutral detergent insoluble CP (NDICP) and acid

130

detergent insoluble CP (ADICP) were analyzed according to Licitra et al.16 using the NDF and

131

ADF residues. For determination of soluble CP (SCP) content, all samples were incubated in a

132

borate-phosphate buffer for three hour, and filtered through #54 Whatman filter papers.16 Non-

133

protein nitrogen (NPN) was estimated as the difference between total CP and precipitated true

134

protein in tungstic acid.16 Total carbohydrate fraction (CHO) was calculated according to NRC 17

135

as: CHO = 100 - (Cfat + CP + Ash). The contents of glucosinolates were determined by POS

136

Bio-Sciences laboratories (Saskatoon, SK) according to the official method of the Canadian

137

Grain Commission.18 The condensed tannins were determined using the HCl−butanol

138

procedure.19

Animals, Diets and Rumen Incubation

141

Four rumen-cannulated (10 cm internal diameter; Bar Diamond Inc., Parma, ID, USA) non-

142

lactating Holstein dairy cows (body weight, 680 ± 10 kg), were used for the in situ incubation

143

trial. The procedures involved in the animal experiment was approved by the University of

144

Saskatchewan Animal Research Ethics Board (Animal Use Protocol No. 19910012), and

145

conducted according to the guidelines of the Canadian Council of Animal Care. 20 Cows were

146

individually fed twice daily at 0800 and 1600 h with a total mixed ration (TMR) in a tie-stall

147

barn at the Rayner Dairy Research and Teaching Facility (University of Saskatchewan,

148

Saskatoon, SK), and given free access to water. The TMR was formulated with 56.5% barley

149

silage, 12.2% hay and 31.3% concentrate according to the NRC requirements.17 The standard

150

method of in situ rumen incubation as described by Khan et al.21 was used to determine the

151

rumen degradation kinetics of the experimental feeds. The dried residues were weighed and

152

pooled for chemical analyses as per treatment and incubation time within each run. The residues

153

were ground by a coffee grinder (PC770, Loblaws Inc., Toronto, ON) for 10 s, repeated once, to

154

obtain approximately 1 mm particle size. The residues were analyzed the content of CP and NDF

155

as described earlier.

156

Rumen Degradation Kinetics

157

The first order kinetics degradation model with lag time was used to estimate the degradation

158

features of OM, CP and NDF.22-24 The data was processed using the non-linear (NLIN)

159

procedure of SAS 9.3 (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC, US) and iterative least-squares regression

160

(Gauss-Newton method). R = U + D × e 7

161

Where R(t) is the residue (%) after t h incubation, U is undegradable fraction (%), D is

162

degradable fraction (%), Kd is degradation rate (%/h), and T0 is lag time (h).

163 164 165

The rumen undegraded fractions of OM (RUOM), CP (RUP) and NDF (RUNDF) were estimated using a passage rate (Kp) of 6%/h17, 24: RU% = U + D ×

166

where RU is rumen undegradable fractions of OM, CP and NDF. The rumen degradable

167

fractions were estimated as: % = + ×

168

where ED is effective degradability of OM (EDOM), CP (RDP) and NDF (EDNDF), and S is

169

soluble fraction (%).

170

The hourly nutrient degradation was estimated based on the equations from Sinclair et al.

171

Based on this study, the equation of hourly effective degradation ratios of N to OM was

172

published by Nuez-Ortín and Yu.26

173

Hourly ED (g/kg DM) = S + [D × Kd / (Kp + Kd)] × [1 − e−t × (Kd + Kp)],

174

Hourly ED N/OMt = (HEDNt − HEDNt−1) / (HEDOMt − HEDOMt−1),

25

175

where N/OMt is the ratio of N to OM at time t (g N/kg OM), HEDNt is effective

176

degradability of N at time t (g/kg DM), HEDNt−1 is effective degradability of N at 1 h before

177

time t (g/kg DM), HEDOMt is effective degradability of OM at time t (g/kg DM), and

178

HEDOMt−1 is effective degradability of OM at 1 h before time t (g/kg DM).The optimum N to

179

OM degradation ratio was considered to be 25 g N/kg OM to realize the most efficient microbial

180

crude protein (MCP) synthesis. 26

Intestinal Digestibility of Protein

183

Digestibility of RUP in the small intestine was determined by three-step in vitro procedure of

184

Calsamiglia and Stern.27 Briefly, 15 g of residues from 12 h in situ rumen incubation were

185

weighed and mixed with 10 mL of 0.1 mol/L HCl solution (pH = 1.9) containing pepsin, and

186

then incubated at 38 ºC for 1 h in a shaking water bath. After incubation, the solution was

187

neutralized by the addition of 0.5 mL of 1 mol/L NaOH (pH = 7.8) and 13.5 mL of phosphate-

188

buffer containing pancreatin. The mixture was subsequently vortexed, and incubated for 24 h at

189

38 ºC in the shaking water bath, and vortexed every 8 h. At the end of 24 h incubation, 3 mL

190

trichloroacetic acid (TCA) solution was added to the mixture in order to stop enzymatic activity

191

and precipitate the undigested protein. Samples were then centrifuged for 15 min at 5000 rpm,

192

and 5 ml of supernatant was analyzed for soluble N by the Kjeldahl method. The soluble protein

193

was regarded as the digestible protein in the small intestine.

194 195

Predicted Truly Absorbed Protein Supply and Feed Milk Value

196

The metaboliable protein (MP) supplied to dairy cows was calculated as the sum of (1) truly

197

absorbable rumen synthesized MCP in the small intestine (AMCP); (2) truly absorbable rumen-

198

undegradable feed protein reaching the small intestine (ARUP); and (3) truly absorbable

199

endogenous protein reaching the small intestine (AECP).17 The detailed description of the

200

concepts, equations and formulas for estimation of AMCP, ARUP and AECP are given by Peng

201

et al.28 The MP absorbed from the small intestine is partly used for milk production. The feed

202

milk value (FMV) is the term used for estimating the efficiency of feed MP for milk

203

production.29 The transfer efficiency of MP to milk is 0.67, and 1 kg milk contains

204

approximately 33 g milk protein 17,29 Therefore, FMV can be estimated as:

Statistical Analysis

207

Data on the chemical profile, rumen degradation kinetics of nutrients, hourly effective

208

degradation ratios, intestinal digestion of protein, MP supply to the small intestine and FMV of

209

the carinata coproducts and canola meal were analyzed using the MIXED procedure of SAS 9.3

210

(SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC, US). The model used for the analyses of nutrients and anti-

211

nutrients profile was

212

Yij = µ + Fi + eij,

213

where Yij is an observation of the dependent variable ij, µ is the population mean for the

214

variable, Fi is the effect of different coproducts as a fixed effect (different sources were treated as

215

the replication), and eij is the random error associated with the observation ij. For the analysis of

216

rumen degradation kinetics, hourly effective degradation ratios, intestinal digestion of protein

217

and MP supply the following model was used,

218

Yijk = µ + Fi + Sj + eijk,

219

where Yijk is an observation of the dependent variable ijk, µ is the population mean for the

220

variable, Fi is the effect of different coproducts as a fixed effect, Sj is the effect of different

221

batches in the in situ trial as a random effect, and eijk is the random error associated with the

222

observation ij. For all statistical analyses, significance was declared at P < 0.05, and trends at

223

0.05 ≤ P ≤ 0.10.

227

The results of chemical profile, protein and carbohydrate sub-fraction compositions of B.

228

carinata coproducts, meal and presscake, in comparison with canola meal are presented in Table

229

1. There were no significant differences among carinata coproducts and canola meal for the

230

contents of ash. Carinata presscake had a higher (P < 0.05) content (2.5% DM) of Cfat than

231

carinata meal (0.3% DM). The presscake was produced after partial extraction of oil from

232

carinata seeds by cold-pressing; whereas, from meal the residual oil was further removed by

233

solvent-extraction process. This explains the higher content of Cfat in carinata presscake as

234

compared to carinata meal. In agreement with our findings Theodoridou and Yu30 reported a

235

higher content of Cfat in canola presscake as compared to canola meal. Notably, both coproducts

236

of carinata had higher (P < 0.05) contents of CP than canola meal. A further comparison between

237

the carinata coproducts revealed that the presscake had numerically lower content (48.5% vs.

238

53.5% DM) of CP than the meal. This result is in accordance with the literature,31,32 and a

239

plausible explanation is that the cold-press system of oil extraction results in lower oil recovery

240

from the presscake compared to the solvent extraction, and as a result the presscake contains a

241

higher content of oil and lower content of CP as compared to the meal.

242

The CP subfraction composition revealed that compared to canola meal the SCP contents were

243

more than two times higher (P < 0.05) in the carinata coproducts. The SCP is expected to

244

degrade rapidly in the rumen, and may not be optimally utilized for MCP synthesis, that can

245

lower the overall supply of MP to the dairy cow.33,34 Between the carinata coproducts, the

246

presscake had higher (P < 0.05) SCP content (72.6% vs. 53.0% DM) than carinata meal. Mustafa

247

et al.35 reported that compared to presscake the SCP content in solvent extracted meal is reduced

248

by more than half after toasting, which they attributed to both high moisture and high heating,

249

that prevailed during the solvent extraction process. Heating during solvent extraction can alter

11

250

protein structures such as by the uncoiling of the pleated structures or by denaturing the protein

251

molecules.34,36 The subsequent liberation of hydrophobic amino acids, racemization, and

252

establishment of cross-linkages among the uncoiled peptides and between amino acids and

253

reducing sugars can all reduce CP solubility. The contents of NDIP and ADIP were lower (P
0.10) in the Kd

315

among the three coproducts. The greater (P < 0.05) D-fraction and smaller (P < 0.05) U-fraction

316

was recorded for carinata presscake, while carinata and canola meal did not differ (P > 0.05) in

317

these degradation characteristics. Among the three coproducts, carinata presscake had greater (P

318

< 0.05) EDNDF (47.1% NDF), while carinata and canola meal did not differ (P > 0.05) in

14



319

EDNDF. Our findings are consistent with literature values of McKinnon and Walker.31 However,

320

another study indicated that presscake processing may not change rumen degradability of NDF.29

Hourly Effective Rumen Degradation Ratios of Carinata Coproducts

323

The optimal effective degradation ratio between N and energy supply to the rumen of dairy cows

324

is 25g N/kg OM for achieving maximum MCP synthesis and minimum N loss to environment.

325

26,45

326

lower degradation ratio indicates a shortage of N supply for MCP synthesis. Figure 1 shows the

327

hourly effective N/OM degradation ratios of the three coproducts at different incubation times.

328

The hourly effective N/OM degradation ratios of the two carinata coproducts were relatively

329

higher than that of canola meal at the beginning (0 h) of incubation, with only the ratio of canola

330

meal being less than the optimum (25g N/kg OM). Subsequently, a dramatic increase in the

331

N/OM effective degradability ratio was observed between 0 to 2 h for the three coproducts, and a

332

greater change (21 to 92g N/kg OM) was observed for canola meal. In the first 2 h the changes in

333

N/OM degradation ratios of carinata meal and presscake were more or less similar and both

334

attained a similar ratio (120g N/kg OM) after 2 h of incubation. However, compared to carinata

335

meal, the N/OM degradation ratios of carinata presscake decreased rapidly from 120 g N/kg OM

336

at 2 h to 14 g N/kg OM at 24 h, which is less than the optimum ratio (
