Fats are important molecules that are considered as energy and make the structural and functional components of cells. Due to the high energy requirements of high producing cows, fat supplementation is necessary to achieve maximum production potential
The possibility of using fat in its natural form is limited due to the negative effects on the rumen microflora. Calcifying fats in addition to inactivating them in the rumen also improves the digestibility and palatability of the diet.
Therefore, considering the high demand of the country, mainly through imports, experts and experienced scientific staff of Sepahan Ala Oil Company have started producing high quality calcium fat powder with the following specifications.
In recent years, reproduction has declined alarmingly. Numerous studies have shown that unsaturated fatty-acids with multiple double-bonds have the potential to improve fertility in dairy cows. Potential mechanisms for this action include:
enhancing energy density,
Changing the follicular development,
Increase the concentration of progesterone
Also,
• enhancing the quality of the embryo.
Since the microbic biohydrogenation activity of the rumen, basically converts most of the unsaturated fatty acids in the diet, to saturated ones; using a suitable fat-supplement with the right ratio of these fatty-acids, which makes passing through the rumen possible (without any change), will lead to the improvement of reproduction on dairy cows. Academic research suggests that reproductive performance in dairy cows has improved due to the use of unsaturated fat sources (University of Arizona America)
