Fat source effects on finishing steer digestion and metabolism

Bock, B.J.; Harmon, D.L.; Brandt, Robert T., Jr.; Schneider, J.E.
A replicated 3 x 3 Latin square design was used to explore the effects of fat source

(none vs 3.5% soybean oil soapstock or animal tallow) when fed with high (1.0%) calcium on

digestion and metabolism of a finishing diet by steers. Adding fat did not affect site or extent

of starch or dry matter digestion. A net synthesis of long chain fatty acids occurred in the

rumen. Feeding fat tended (P=.ll) to depress bacterial N flowing at the duodenum but did

not affect nonbacterial N or total N.
