Evolving Suitable Method of Protection to Protect Sunflower Acid Oil Against Rumen Degradation

C. Sugumar and V. Balakrishnan
The sunflower acid oil was subjected to three methods of protection viz., Aldehyde treated protein encapsulated form, calcium soap and fatty acyl amides. The extent of rumen lipolysis was assessed by comparing the intensity and surface area of the free fatty acids zone on the chromatographic field between 24 h incubated and unincubated samples. The data originated from six measurements suggest that the calcium soaps offer best protection, as even after 24 h of incubation, the samples had the most desirable faint intensity and lower surface area of free fatty acids zone, which indicate that the calcium soaps undergo lowest metabolism in the rumen than its counterparts. Based on the intensity and surface area of the free fatty acids zone on the chromatographic field, calcium soaps of sunflower acid oil was selected as the potential protected fat in the rations of dairy cows.
