Effects of NaOH treatment on condensed tannin contents and gas production kinetics of tree leaves

Effects of NaOH treatment on the crude protein (CP), condensed tannin (CT) and in vitro gas production kinetics of leaves of Arbutus andrachne, Glycyrrhiza glabra L. and wheat straw were determined. Wheat straw, which is tannin-free, was used as the standard. The NaOH treatment was completed by pulverization of samples with 0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 g/L of NaOH solution in the proportion of 1 L of solution to 1 kg of sample. Gas production was determined at 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h of incubation. NaOH treatment linearly decreased (P<0.001) the CT contents of leaves of Arbutus andrachne and Glycyrrhiza glabra L. whereas NaOH treatment had no effect on the CP contents of Arbutus andrachne, Glycyrrhiza glabra L. and wheat straw. The 80 g/L NaOH treatment reduced the CT content of leaves of Arbutus andrachne and Glycyrrhiza glabra L. by 59.6% and 86.7%, respectively. NaOH treatment linearly decreased (P<0.01) gas production rate of Arbutus andrachne although it linearly increased (P<0.01) gas production rate of wheat straw. In contrast, NaOH treatment had no effect on gas production rate of leaves of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. NaOH treatment linearly decreased (P<0.001) potential gas production of leaves of Arbutus andrachne and Glycyrrhiza glabra L. whereas NaOH treatment linearly increased (P<0.001) potential gas production of wheat straw. Treatment with NaOH can be used to improve the nutritive value of tannin-free forages such as straw, but not for tannin-containing leaves.     

Nutrient composition and in vitro ruminal fermentation of tropical legume mixtures with contrasting tannin contents

Various combinations of a low-tannin herbaceous legume (Vigna unguiculata) and foliage of tanniniferous shrub legumes (Calliandra calothyrsus, Flemingia macrophylla and Leucaena leucocephala) or a low-tannin shrub legume (Cratylia argentea), all mixed together with a low-quality tropical grass (Brachiaria humidicola), were tested in vitro for differences in the effects on ruminal fermentation. Two experiments with the gas transducer technique were carried out, where each forage mixture was tested either with or without polyethylene glycol in order to be able to identify tannin-related effects (n = 3). In Experiment 1, a stepwise replacement of V. unguiculata by C. calothyrsus (5:0, 4:1, 3:2, 2:3, 1:4, 0:5) at a legume proportion of 1/3 or 2/3 in the mixture was evaluated. Together with two grass-alone and four pure legume treatments this added up to 30 treatments. In Experiment 2, V. unguiculata was gradually replaced by each of the four shrub legumes (3:0, 2:1, 1:2, 0:3) in grass–legume ratios of 2:1, adding up, together with two grass-alone treatments, to 28 treatments. When added alone, V. unguiculata resulted in high fermentative activity as measured by gas production and kinetics as well as low proportion of undegraded crude protein. When V. unguiculata was replaced by the low-tannin C. argentea in Experiment 2, there was no noticeable difference (P>0.05) in fermentative activity. In both experiments, the effect of the substitution of V. unguiculata by tanniniferous shrub legumes resulted in a declining gas production and an increasing proportion of undegraded crude protein (P<0.001). However, the extent of these changes depended on the level of replacement and the shrub legume species (P<0.001). The results of Experiment 2 illustrate that this was the consequence not only of different tannin contents (less adverse effects with L. leucocephala than with C. calothyrsus) but also differences in the chemical properties of the tannins present in these shrub legume species (much less adverse effects with L. leucocephala than with F. macrophylla despite similar tannin contents). Furthermore these results indicate that, once the extent of the effects of a tanniniferous legume is known, one may calculate the maximal level of replacement of a low-tannin legume in a grass diet possible without negative effects on ruminal fermentation. This allows to improve dry season grass-based diets with as few as possible of the expensive and less well growing low-tannin legume.

Fiber digestibility in juvenile Galapagos tortoises (Geochelone nigra) and implications for the development of captive animals

Digestive strategies have been recognized to be a key factor for healthy growth in juvenile Galapagos giant tortoises (Geochelone nigra). The aim of present study was to investigate digestive coefficients with special regard to fiber fractions. Four captive bred Galapagos giant tortoises 4–5 years of age were fed a controlled diet for 32 days. The diet consisted of 77% hay, 15% tortoise pellets, and 8% apples on a dry matter basis. On a dry matter basis diet analysis showed: 95.7% organic matter, 11.3% crude protein, 20.5% crude fiber, 22.6% acid detergent fiber, 5.0% acid detergent lignin, and 17.6% cellulose. Based on total fecal collection during 7 days average dry matter digestibilities were calculated: 65% for dry matter, 67% for organic matter, 63% for crude protein, 55% for crude fiber, 49% for acid detergent fiber, 41% for acid detergent lignin, 54% for cellulose. An increase in crude fiber content resulted in a reduced digestibility in comparative evaluations of data for different tortoise species, and in a comparison of tortoises and mammalian hindgut fermenters. Compared to some mammalian hindgut‐fermenting herbivore species (domestic horses, Asian elephants, Indian rhinoceroses) on a diet of hay and concentrates, the juvenile Galapagos giant tortoises showed a digestion of similar efficiency. If a reduction in dietary digestibility is warranted in juvenile Galapagos giant tortoises, it is concluded that dietary fiber levels should be increased and it is proposed that crude fiber levels of 30–40% on a dry matter basis should be achieved.

Ethanesulfonic acid-based esterification of industrial acidic crude palm oil for biodiesel production

An industrial grade acidic crude palm oil (ACPO) pre-treatment process was carried out using ethanesulfonic acid (ESA) as a catalyst in the esterification reaction. ESA was used in different dosages to reduce free fatty acid (FFA) to a minimum level for the second stage of biodiesel production via alkaline transesterification reaction. Different process operating conditions were optimized such as ESA dosage (0.25-3.5% wt/wt), methanol to ACPO molar ratio (1:1-20:1), reaction temperature (40-70 °C), and reaction time (3-150 min). This study revealed the potential use of abundant quantities of ACPO from oil palm mills for biodiesel production. The lab scale results showed the effectiveness of the pre-treatment process using ESA catalyst. Three consecutive catalyst recycling runs were achieved without significant degradation in its performance. Second and third reuse runs needed more reaction time to achieve the target level of FFA content. Esterification and transesterification using ESA and KOH respectively is proposed for biodiesel industrial scale production. The produced biodiesel meets the international standards specifications for biodiesel fuel (EN 14214 and ASTM D6751).     

Thematic Review Series: Living History of Lipids: Discovery of essential fatty acids

Dietary fat was recognized as a good source of energy and fat-soluble vitamins by the first part of the 20th century, but fatty acids were not considered to be essential nutrients because they could be synthesized from dietary carbohydrate. This well-established view was challenged in 1929 by George and Mildred Burr who reported that dietary fatty acid was required to prevent a deficiency disease that occurred in rats fed a fat-free diet. They concluded that fatty acids were essential nutrients and showed that linoleic acid prevented the disease and is an essential fatty acid. The Burrs surmised that other unsaturated fatty acids were essential and subsequently demonstrated that linolenic acid, the omega-3 fatty acid analog of linoleic acid, is also an essential fatty acid. The discovery of essential fatty acids was a paradigm-changing finding, and it is now considered to be one of the landmark discoveries in lipid research.     

Serodiagnosis of Toxocariasis by ELISA Using Crude Antigen of Toxocara canis Larvae

Toxocariasis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by larvae of ascarid nematodes of dogs or cats, Toxocara canis or T. cati. Diagnosis of human toxocariasis currently relies on serology that uses T. canis excretory-secretory antigen to detect specific IgG antibodies by ELISA. We investigated the serodiagnostic efficacy of ELISA using crude antigen of T. canis larvae (TCLA). Serum specimens of 64 clinically confirmed toxocariasis, 115 healthy controls, and 119 other tissue-invading helminthiases were screened by ELISA using TCLA. The ELISA using TCLA showed 92.2% (59/64 patient samples) sensitivity and 86.6% (103/119) specificity. Its positive diagnostic predictivity was 78.7% and negative predictivity was 97.8%. No serum of healthy controls reacted but that of anisakiasis (45.5%), gnathostomiasis (19.2%), clonorchiasis (15.8%), sparganosis (11.1%), and cysticercosis (6.3%) cross-reacted. Immunoblot analysis on TCLA recognized antigenic proteins of 28- and 30-kDa bands in their dominant protein quantity and strong blotting reactivity. The present results indicate that the ELISA using our TCLA antigen is acceptable by the sensitivity and specificity for serodiagnosis of human toxocariasis. ELISA with TCLA is recommended to make differential diagnosis for patients with any sign of organ infiltration and eosinophilia.     

Effects of perfluorocarboxylic acids on the activities of acyl-CoA elongations in vivo and in vitro

Effects of perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) on proportions of oleic acid and cis-vaccenic acid through acyl-CoA chain elongation systems have been studied in the liver of rats. Administration of PFCAs caused a significant increase in palmitoyl-CoA chain elongation activity while these chemicals did not affect palmitoleoyl-CoA chain elongation activity in vivo.Condensation for both palmitoyl-CoA and palmitoleoyl-CoA were inhibited by PFCAs in vitro at the concentrations, which were physiologically found in the liver of rats treated with the PFCAs. Δ⁹ Desaturase, which catalyzes both stearoyl-CoA desaturation and palmitoyl-CoA desaturation, was induced by the treatments of rats with the PFCAs. The administration of the PFCAs to rats caused a marked increase in proportion of oleic acid, while that of cis-vaccenic acid was not affected at all. These results strongly suggest that the induced palmitoyl-CoA chain elongation by PFCAs, which exist in the liver, effectively produces oleic acid in concert with the induced stearoyl-CoA desaturase, but the inhibitory effects of PFCAs on either palmitoyl-CoA chain elongation or palmitoleoyl-CoA chain elongation are not crucial for the formation of the elongated fatty acids in vivo.     

Effects of Agave salmiana Otto Ex Salm-Dyck silage as forage on ruminal fermentation and growth in goats

Ensiling of Agave salmiana Otto Ex Salm-Dyck, a widespread plant in Mexico, as a viable preservation method to create a potential animal feed resource for ruminants was investigated. Fresh A. salmiana with 205 g dry matter (DM)/kg and wilted alfalfa with 602 g DM/kg were ensiled in combinations (DM:DM) of 1000:0, 500:500 and 350:650, to evaluate feeding value of agave:alfalfa silages on ruminal fermentation and growth of goats. Chemical composition and in situ ruminal disappearance of three total mixed rations (TMRs), which included 240 g/kg DM of each silage (1000:0, 500:500 and 350:650) were determined. The TMR were used to assess ruminal fermentation and growth of 15 goats (20 ± 2.2 kg body weight (BW)). Silage pH (≤4), lactate (>25 g/kg DM) and ammonia (<50 g/kg total N) concentrations indicate that silage quality was good. Lactic acid was the main acid in all silages, acetic acid concentrations were relatively low, and butyrate was only detected in only the 1000:0 agave:alfalfa silage. Potential DM disappearance of the TMR increased quadratically as the amount of alfalfa included in the silage mixture increased. The BW gain and feed efficiency were not changed by treatment, even though DM intake decreased and aNDF intake increased linearly as the amount of alfalfa included in the silage mixture increased. Ruminal pH and butyrate increased, and ammonia N, lactate and propionate decreased linearly as alfalfa proportion of alfalfa in the silage mixture was increased. The TMR ingredient selectivity by the goats may have limited goat performance when alfalfa was included in agave silage mixtures. Because the agave:alfalfa blend improved nutritional quality, ruminal digestibility and intake of agave silage, alfalfa inclusion may improve nutritional characteristics of agave plants silages for ruminants.
