Influence of Jet-Sploding and extrusion on ruminal and intestinal disappearance of canola and soybeans.
In situ rumen degradation and intestinal digestibility of DM and CP of Jet-Sploded and extruded protein sources were estimated, using two ruminally and duodenally cannulated lactating Holstein cows, in two experiments. One-gram samples of ground (1 mm) whole canola seed, canola meal, extruded canola meal, Jet-Sploded whole canola seed, Protec, soybean meal and extruded soybean meal (Experiment 1), and whole canola seed Jet-Sploded at temperatures ranging from 116 to 177 degrees C (Experiment 2) were heat sealed into small nylon bags for incubation in the rumen and insertion into the duodenum. Extrusion had no effect on DM or CP disappearance in the rumen nor on effective degradability. Jet-Sploding of whole canola seed dramatically reduced effective degradability (%) of DM (80.5 vs 35.9 at .08 h-1 rumen outflow rate) and CP (83.5 vs. 43.2 at .08 h-1). Total tract disappearance of DM and CP exceeded 90% for all protein sources, except Protec and Jet-Sploded material. Jet-Sploding appears to have potential for decreasing ruminal degradation of canola protein or DM without markedly decreasing intestinal digestibility.
