| description | The effects of dietary Ca-salt of palm fatty acid distillate (CSPFAD) as an energy
supplement on sheep performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality were
examined. Eighteen Santa Ines lambs weighing 16.6&1.4 kg were randomly allocated
to three dietary treatments with six animals for each group. The lambs were fed a
based diet containing palm kernel cake plus oil palm fi-ond (PKC+OPF)
supplemented with either 0% (diet l), 2.5% (diet 2) and 5% (diet 3) calcium salt of
palm fatty acid (CSPFAD). The feed intake, body weight and feed conversion ratio
were recorded every two weeks for a period of 4 months. At the end of the
experiment, 9 lambs (3 lambs from each dietary treatment) were randomly selected
and slaughtered to examine carcass characteristics. Longissirnus dorsi (LD) muscle
were sampled and examined for cooking loss and objective tenderness by Warner-
Bratzler shear force analysis. In the second experiment three adult male sheep (51 *
2.12 kg body weight) fitted with ruminal cannulas were used, 3 x 3 Latin square
design to determine the degradability of dry matter and protein at 6, 12,24,36 and 48
hr incubation time. The pH, ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and volatile fatty acid (VFA)
of the rumen fluid were measured at 0, 2 and 4hr post-feeding and stored at -20C0
until analysis.
The result shows there were no significant difference (P>0.05) in feed intake and
body weight changes of the lambs among the dietary treatments. pH, total VFA,
molar proportions of acetic acid, and acetic : propionic ratio of rumen fluid were not
affected by dietary treatment. However, there was significant difference (P<0.05) in
propionic acid molar proportion between the dietary treatment with the highest and
lowest indicated in the 5% (diet 3) and control (diet I), respectively. Further more,
the pH of meat, dressing percentage, and carcasses composition are similar (P>0.05)
among the dietary treatments. However, cooking loss of meat increased (P<0.05) as
the levels of CSPFAD was increased in the diet. Significant different (P<0.05) in
shear force were observed between diets with highest and lowest indicated by the
control and 5% dietary treatment respectively.
It can be concluded that the CSPFAD can be used up to 5% as an energy source in a
diet without any adverse effects on rumen fermentation. It can also enhanced meat
quality such as tenderness. |
