Investigation of ammonium lactate supplementation on fermentation end products and bacterial assimilation of nitrogen in dual-flow continuous culture.
Journal of Dairy Science 2018 September
Supplements investigated throughout the present study are produced by fermenting lactose that is present in whey to lactate, yielding products differing in ammonium relative to lactate concentrations and in physical form (liquid or dry). Trials 1 and 2 investigated Lacto-Whey (LW; Fermented Nutrition Corp., Luxemburg, WI) and GlucoBoost (GB; Fermented Nutrition Corp.), respectively, using dual-flow continuous culture systems (n = 4), each with a 4 × 4 Latin square design. A greater proportion of nonprotein nitrogen was present in GB than in LW. In trial 1, the treatment with LW was isonitrogenously dosed against soybean meal (SBM) as a control (no LW) and factorialized with either a wheat- or corn-based concentrate (55% inclusion rate, dry matter basis). We hypothesized that LW would increase propionate production and that the combination of +LW with wheat would increase bacterial assimilation of NH3 -N into cellular N. No differences were observed for total volatile fatty acid (VFA) production per day. However, treatment × time interactions revealed that +LW increased lactate concentration at 0, 0.5, and 1 h and tended to increase molar percentage of propionate at 1 and 1.5 h postfeeding, documenting the immediate availability of lactate converted to propionate in the +LW treatments. The main effect of corn increased the proportion of bacterial N derived from NH3 -N. Trial 2 was designed to investigate GB; isonitrogenous treatments included an SBM control, crystal GB, liquid GB (LGB), and LGB with yeast culture, which were dosed twice daily. We hypothesized that GB would increase propionate production and bacterial assimilation of NH3 -N; the combination of LGB and yeast culture was expected to have a positive additive effect, yielding the greatest VFA production and bacterial NH3 -N assimilation. No differences were observed for total VFA production; however, LGB decreased molar percentage of acetate and increased propionate and butyrate molar percentages. There were no differences in non-NH3 -N flow or microbial N flow. Under the conditions of our studies, lactate in LW and GB was fermented extensively to propionate, and microbial protein synthesis in these treatments was comparable with that in SBM controls.
