Abstract
Soybeans can provide ruminally degradable protein, lipid, and metabolizable amino acid (AA) to lactating dairy cows; however, soy-based trypsin inhibitors can limit protein digestion in nonruminants. Eight ruminally cannulated lactating Holstein cows were used to evaluate the impacts of soy-based trypsin inhibitors on nutrient disappearance, lactation, and plasma AA bioavailability. Treatments were abomasal infusion of 0 or 400 g/d casein or a crystalline AA analog of casein with unroasted or roasted soybeans fed at 10% dry matter (DM). Data were analyzed using the MIXED procedure of SAS. Measures of digestion were determined from fecal output determined with acid detergent insoluble ash and urine output determined from measures of urine creatinine. Neither soybean processing (P ≥ 0.20) nor the source of abomasal infusion (P ≥ 0.60) impacted nutrient digestibility. Ruminal ammonia, isobutyrate, and isovalerate were increased (P ≤ 0.01) among cattle consuming unroasted soybeans. Source of infusion did not affect (P ≥ 0.38) ruminal volatile fatty acids or nitrogen metabolism. Ruminal N metabolism was largely unaffected by soybean processing although microbial N efficiency was greater (P < 0.01) among cows fed unroasted soybeans. DM intake and energy-corrected milk were greater (P < 0.01) in cows fed roasted compared to unroasted soybeans. The proportion of fat, protein, lactose, and solids not fat (SNF) in milk did not differ between soybean processing or postruminal AA source, but fat, protein, lactose, and SNF yield was greater (P ≤ 0.01) when cows were fed roasted soybeans because milk yields were greater when cows were fed roasted vs. unroasted soybeans. As expected, infusion of casein or its crystalline AA analog increased plasma essential AA and milk urea nitrogen concentration. The rate of increase in essential AA concentration in plasma was 2.9× greater for casein than for crystalline AA. These data seem to indicate that soy-based trypsin inhibitors have no impacts on postruminal AA bioavailability when fed to cows and that metabolizable protein from casein is greater than from crystalline AA.

Abstract
Over 100 years, the Journal of Dairy Science has recorded incredible changes in the utilization of fat for dairy cattle. Fat has progressed from nothing more than a contaminant in some protein supplements to a valuable high-energy substitute for cereal grains, a valuable energy source in its own right, and a modifier of cellular metabolism that is under active investigation in the 21st century. Milestones in the use of fats for dairy cattle from 1917 to 2017 result from the combined efforts of noted scientists and industry personnel worldwide, with much of the research published in Journal of Dairy Science. We are humbled to have been asked to contribute to this historical collection of significant developments in fat research over the past 100 years. Our goal is not to detail all the work published as each development moved forward; rather, it is to point out when publication marked a significant change in thinking regarding use of fat supplements. This approach forced omission of critically important names and publications in many journals as ideas moved forward. However, we hope that a description of the major changes in fat feeding during the past 100 years will stimulate reflection on progress in fat research and encourage further perusal of details of significant events.

Effects of energy density in close-up diets and postpartum supplementation of extruded full-fat soybean on lactation performance and metabolic and hormonal status of dairy cows.

Abstract
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of energy density (ED) in the close-up period and supplementation of extruded full-fat soybean (ESB) during the first 4 wk after parturition on intake, body weight (BW), metabolic status, and performance of dairy cows. Fifty-seven Chinese Holstein cows with similar parity, previous 305-d milk yield, and expected calving date were dried off at -60 d relative to parturition and fed the standard herd dry-cow diet until -21 d relative to parturition. Energy density at low (LED, 1.25 Mcal/kg), medium (MED, 1.41 Mcal/kg) or high (HED, 1.55 Mcal/kg) levels of the close-up diets and postpartum supplementation of ESB at 0 kg/d (control, CON) or 1.5 kg/d (TRT) were used in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement. All cows received the same CON diet from wk 5 to wk 8. As ED increased in the close-up diet, cows had higher dry matter intake and gained more BW and body condition score, and consequently were in improved energy balance status during the prepartum period, but lost more BW and more body condition score during the first 8 wk of lactation. Compared with LED cows, HED cows had higher blood concentrations of insulin and glucose, and lower nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) prepartum, but had lower insulin concentration, higher leptin concentration and tended to have higher NEFA concentration postpartum. Milk production was not affected by the prepartum ED, although HED cows produced approximately 2 kg/d less milk than MED and LED cows during early lactation. Postpartum ESB supplementation elevated blood glucagon concentration regardless of prepartum ED during the first 4 wk of lactation. Interactive effects between prepartum ED and postpartum ESB supplementation were observed in blood concentrations of insulin, NEFA, bilirubin, total protein, albumin, and globulin. During early lactation, TRT decreased globulin concentrations in MED cows, and reduced NEFA and bilirubin concentrations in HED cows. Compared with CON, TRT cows had higher yields of milk (34.32 vs. 36.53 kg/d), milk lactose (1.63 vs. 1.74 kg/d), and solids-nonfat (2.98 vs. 3.18 kg/d), tended to have a greater yield of milk protein (1.11 vs. 1.17 kg/d), but tended to have lower milk fat percentage (4.18 vs. 3.94%) during the first 4 wk of lactation. In conclusion, compared with feeding the HED diet, feeding the LED diet during the close-up dry period had positive carryover effects on metabolism and production during early lactation, and the MED diet showed no advantage over the LED diet. Extruded full-fat soybean supplementation during the first 4 wk of lactation had positive effects on postpartum metabolic status, especially for those receiving the MED or HED diet prepartum, and resulted in an overall improved milk production during early lactation.

Abstract
Avaliaram-se o consumo, metabólitos sanguíneos e a produção e composição do leite de 16 vacas Holandês x Gir, manejadas em pastagem de Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu, suplementadas com 6kg/vaca/dia (base matéria natural) de concentrado contendo 0; 1,3; 2,6 e 3,9kg/vaca/dia de grão de soja tostado (GST). Foi utilizado o delineamento com quatro quadrados latinos (QL) 4 x 4, sendo cada fase do QL constituída de 10 dias de período de adaptação à dieta e de cinco para coleta de amostras. A suplementação da dieta com GST resultou em redução linear (P<0,05) nos consumos de matéria seca e de fibra insolúvel em detergente neutro do pasto e total. A concentração de glicose não foi afetada (P>0,05), porém a de ácidos graxos não esterificados aumentou com a inclusão do GST na dieta (P<0,05). Não houve efeito (P>0,05) da adição do GST sobre a produção e composição do leite, exceto para o teor (P=0,10) e produção (P=0,08) de gordura no leite.

Abstract
Six midlactation Holstein cows were fed a total mixed ration supplemented with either 4.8% canola meal, 3.3% unprotected canola seeds plus 1.5% canola meal, or 4.8% formaldehyde-protected canola seeds, according to a double 3 x 3 Latin square design. Each period lasted 3 wk; experimental analyses were restricted to the last week of each period. Mammary biopsies were taken the last day of each period for gene expression measurements. Milk production and milk protein percentage were reduced by canola seeds, whether protected or unprotected. Protected canola seeds also decreased dry matter intake. Feeding canola seeds reduced the content of C8 to C16 fatty acids in milk and increased the content of oleic acid (C18:1c9). Unprotected canola seeds elevated the concentrations of C18:0. Protected canola seeds increased the C18:2 and C18:3 content, and reduced the C18d:0/C18:1c9 ratio. Similar results were obtained for plasma fatty acids, with some specific features, such as an increased C16:0/C16:1 ratio with protected canola seeds. Canola seeds had no significant effects on insulin, triglycerides, or cholesterol present in serum, but increased the concentration of nonesterified fatty acids; a greater increase was obtained with protected canola seeds. Expression levels of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and delta 9-stearoyl-CoA desaturase genes measured in the mammary gland did not differ significantly between diets. Therefore, the reduced C18s:0/C18:1c9 ratio observed in milk with protected canola seeds was not due to an enhanced expression of the delta-9 desaturase in the mammary gland.

Abstract
Fat supplementation (about 3% of dietary dry matter) has often positively influenced the reproductive status of the dairy cow, including increased size of the ovulatory follicle, increased numbers of ovarian follicles, increased plasma concentration of progesterone, reduced secretion of prostaglandin metabolite, increased lifespan of the corpus luteum, and improved fertility. Supplemental fat may allay partially negative energy status during the early postpartum period, yet often the positive reproductive influence of supplemental fat has been independent of the energy status of the cow. The fatty acid profile of supplemental fats is influential to their impact. Linoleic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid (found in fish meal) are proven inhibitors of cyclooxygenase in endometrial tissue of dairy cows. As a result, endometrial secretion of PGF alpha can be suppressed, thus potentially preventing early embryonic death. This process may be aided by the effect fat has in suppressing estradiol-17 beta secretion, thus reducing uterine PGF2 alpha secretion and decreasing the sensitivity of the corpus luteum to PGF2 alpha. Targeting of dietary fatty acids toward ovarian and uterine function may enhance efficiency of reproductive management and fertility.

Abstract
Twenty-four multiparous Holstein cows, 4 of which were ruminally fistulated, were assigned to one of four diets containing full-fat soybeans, either raw or extruded at 120, 130, or 140 degrees C. Our hypothesis was that the extrusion of full-fat soybeans, as well as the extrusion temperature, would affect the bypass of fatty acids in the rumen and, thus, would modify the fatty acid profile of milk fat. Total mixed diets containing 23.7% soybeans (percentage of DM) were fed for 8 wk. Milk yield was lower, and the proportion of milk CP was higher, for cows fed raw soybeans than for cows fed extruded soybeans. Compared with raw soybeans, extruded soybeans increased the concentration of delta-11-trans-C18:1 from 2.72 to 11.41% in milk fat but had no effect on yield or percentage of milk fat. Polyunsaturated fatty acids of raw soybeans disappeared more rapidly than did those of extruded soybeans from bags incubated in the rumen of fistulated cows. However, more delta-11-trans-C18:1 and C18:0 appeared in bags containing extruded soybeans than in bags containing raw soybeans. Extrusion of full-fat soybeans influenced the metabolism of fatty acids in the rumen and the fatty acid profile of milk fat, but the temperature of extrusion had only minor effects on these parameters.

Abstract
The effect of roasted soybeans, blood meal, and tallow as sources of fat and RUP for lactating dairy cows was studied. Forty-five cows, blocked by age, calving date, and milk yield during the previous lactation, were assigned randomly to the following treatments (ingredient in the DM, RUP as a percentage of CP, and fat in the DM, respectively): 1) soybean meal (16, 35, and 3.2%), 2) whole roasted soybeans (18, 40, and 6.2%), 3) ground roasted soybeans (18, 40, and 6.2%), 4) blood meal (2.7, 40, and 3.2%), and 5) blood meal plus tallow (2.7 and 3, 40, and 6.2%). Diets were fed from wk 3 to 18 of lactation and consisted of 20% alfalfa silage, 30% corn silage, and 50% concentrate. The DMI of blood meal and whole roasted soybean diets was about 11% lower than DMI of the soybean meal diet. Milk yield (38.4 kg/d) and milk fat percentage (3.37%) were similar among diets. The roasted soybean diets resulted in the lowest milk protein percentage. Less than 2.7% blood meal might be advisable for diets fed to high yielding dairy cows to avoid reduced DMI.

Abstract
Two hundred twenty of 443 cows freshening between June 1989 and March 1990 in five commercial Holstein herds were fed .45 kg/d of rumen-inert fat from calving until 200 DIM. Control diets were fed as TMR and contained, on average, 3.7 to 4.8% supplemental fat (DM basis). Test herds had rolling herd averages of 9300 to 13,250 kg of milk. Production of 4% FCM and milk increased 1.01 (3.3%) and 1.50 kg/d (4.6%), respectively, for primiparous cows fed additional fat. Multiparous cows from four herds demonstrated no response; multiparous cows in one herd increased production of 4% FCM by 2.88 kg/d (8.2%), milk by 2.45 kg/d (6.4%), and milk fat by .14kg/d (10.6%) in response to additional fat. An explanation of response differences among herd for multiparous cows was not possible. For primiparous and multiparous cows, increased genetic potential increased treatment response. Increased body condition score at calving influenced treatment response of multiparous cows. Thinner cows produced more milk and less milk fat in response to additional dietary fat than did fatter cows. Most reproductive indices were unaffected by treatment. Cows receiving additional fat had lower, but nonsignificantly lower, incidences of most health disorders. Responses to rumen-inert fat by cows receiving high concentrations of dietary fat were marginal and were affected by body condition score at calving and by genetic potential.

Abstract
Soybeans were subjected to 12 heat treatments, differing in temperature and steeping (conditioning) time: control (no heat); 110 degrees C, 0 min; 110 degrees C, 30 min; 123 degrees C, 0 min; 123 degrees C, 30 min; 135 degrees C, 0 min; 135 degrees C, 30 min; 146 degrees C, 0 min; 146 degrees C, 15 min; 146 degrees C, 30 min; 153 degrees C, 30 min; and 160 degrees C, 30 min. These soybean treatments were tested for protein dispersibility index, absorbance at 420 nm, ADIN, pepsin-insoluble N, and in situ and in vitro protein degradation. Seven of these treatments (control; 123 degrees C, 30 min; 135 degrees C, 0 min; 135 degrees C, 30 min; 146 degrees C, 0 min; 146 degrees C, 30 min; and 153 degrees C, 30 min) were used in a feeding study involving 21 Holstein heifers (7 x 7 Latin square design replicated three times) and a lactation experiment (7 x 7 Latin square design replicated two times) using 14 multiparous Holstein cows in early lactation. Concentrations of branched-chain AA in blood plasma were used as indicators of protein uptake from the intestine in the heifer study, and production of 3.5% FCM was used to evaluate soybean treatments in the lactation study. Based on the criteria used, soybeans heated to 146 degrees C for 30 min were considered to be optimal. The protein dispersibility index and absorbance at 420 nm proved useful in evaluation of heat exposure of soybeans, and these procedures are suggested for routine monitoring of quality of commercially heated soybeans.

Abstract
Primiparous (n = 22) and multiparous (n = 41) cows were randomly assigned by calving date and parity to one of four dietary sequences of supplemental fat from 14 d prepartum to 151 d postpartum. Partially hydrogenated tallow was added to diets at 0% prepartum and postpartum (control); 1% prepartum and 2% postpartum; 0% prepartum and 2% postpartum; and 0% prepartum, 0% from 1 to 34 d postpartum, and 2% from 35 to 151 d postpartum. Inclusion of partially hydrogenated tallow did not influence yields of milk or 3.5% FCM, milk composition, or DMI during the first 151 d postpartum. During the first 35 d postpartum, cows receiving partially hydrogenated tallow starting at parturition yielded milk with a higher fat content than those receiving fat prepartum and postpartum. Addition of partially hydrogenated tallow to diets starting 35 d postpartum resulted in cows being more persistent in yields of milk and 3.5% FCM from 60 to 151 d postpartum. Reproduction parameters measured were unaffected by time of fat addition to diets. Our data suggest that delaying the addition of partially hydrogenated tallow to diets until 35 d postpartum may improve the persistency of lactation.

Abstract
Two in vitro experiments were conducted to determine the rates of lipolysis and the extent of biohydrogenation of fat from raw or processed soybeans and to examine the subsequent effects on fiber digestibilities. In Experiment 1, substrates containing soy oil, raw soybeans, extruded soybeans, and soybeans roasted at 132, 146, or 163 degrees C were incubated with ruminal contents for 2, 4, 6, 12, or 24 h; and release of FFA was measured. The FFA released from substrates containing soy oil, extruded soybeans, and raw or roasted soybeans reached maxima at incubations of 4, 6, and 12 h, respectively. As the roasting temperature increased from 132 to 163 degrees C, release of FFA decreased at incubations of 2, 12, and 24 h. Fatty acids in roasted soybeans were subjected to less biohydrogenation than those in raw or extruded soybeans, suggesting that FFA of roasted soybeans are partially protected from ruminal bacteria. In Experiment 2, ground alfalfa hay was added to substrates used previously to determine the effect of release rate of FFA on ADF and NDF digestibilities. At all incubation times, the substrates containing soy oil and extruded soybeans had lower digestibilities, and those containing raw or roasted soybeans had higher digestibilities of NDF and ADF.

Abstract
Twenty Holstein cows in midlactation were used in a Latin square design to evaluate the nutritional quality of a high protein soybean (CP 45%) fed raw or roasted. Treatments were 1) control (soybean meal); 2) conventional soybean (Maple Isle), raw; 3) conventional soybean, roasted; 4) high protein soybean (AC Proteus), raw; and 5) high protein soybean, roasted. Diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous and consisted of approximately 10% whole crop barley silage, 15% corn silage, 19% alfalfa silage, 31% rolled barley, 17% cracked corn, and from 6.5 to 8.6% of the appropriate protein source on a DM basis. Replacement of conventional soybean with the high protein soybean increased milk and milk component yields. All soybean treatments lowered milk protein percentages versus soybean meal although milk protein yield was only reduced for the raw Maple Isle soybean treatment. Milk fat percentage was reduced for the roasted AC Proteus soybean treatment versus soybean meal and both Maple Isle soybean treatments, although total milk fat yield did not differ among treatments. Heat treatment by roasting tended to affect total milk yield positively for both types of soybeans, but only the increase for Maple Isle was significant. Milk from cows fed full fat soybeans had more long-chain fatty acids than milk from cows fed soybean meal. Roasting the soybeans further increased the amounts of long-chain fatty acids. The new high protein soybean, AC Proteus, appears to be an excellent source of supplemental protein and energy for lactating dairy cows.

Abstract
Continuous culture fermenters were used to evaluate effects of extrusion of whole soybeans and changes in forage composition of diets on microbial fermentation. Treatments were arranged in a 2 x 4 factorial design with soybeans (raw or extruded) and dietary treatment (ratio of alfalfa hay to corn silage; 82:18, 61:39, 43:57, and 27:73 of dietary forage) as main effects. Soybeans constituted 9.6, 14.4, 19.2, and 23.9% of DM for each of the respective dietary treatments. True digestion of DM, ADF, and NDF was unaffected by processing of soybeans or dietary treatment, but true digestion of OM decreased as concentration of corn silage and soybeans increased. Total VFA concentration was unaffected by source of soybeans or dietary treatments; however, molar concentration of butyrate decreased in fermenters supplied with diets containing extruded soybeans. Degradation of CP was not influenced by soybean source but decreased as the concentration of corn silage and soybeans increased. Bacterial N output decreased, and dietary N flow from the fermenters increased, as concentration of corn silage and soybeans increased. Changes in the ratio of alfalfa hay to corn silage and alteration of dietary soybean concentration affected true OM digestion and dietary CP degradation, but extrusion of whole soybeans had little effect on fermentation.

Abstract
Thirty-six cows were in a 2 x 3 factorial study during the first 2 mo of lactation to examine effects on milk yield and composition of added fat (5% of feed DM) and percentage of ruminally undegradable protein (100, 120, or 140% of recommended intake) in the diet. The main source of added undegradable protein was a 1:1 (wt/wt) mixture of blood meal:hydrolyzed feather meal. Diets were low in ADF (ca. 14%) and were highly fermentable in the rumen. The amount of intermediate dietary protein reduced feed intake. Milk yield was high (40 to 44 kg/d), similar among treatment groups, and was sustained for the entire 60-d trail. All cows yielded milk of low fat content (2.1 to 3.2%); supplemental fat decreased proportions of C6 to C14, C18:2, and C18:3 in milk fat and increased C4, C16:0, C18:0, and C18:1. Higher dietary protein had a positive linear effect on milk fat percentage and increased C16:0 and decreased trans-C18:1 and C18:2 contents of milk fat. Added fat did not change total milk N but increased NPN as a percentage of total milk N. Percentage of total N in milk and yield of whey N was reduced when the intermediate protein diet was fed, associated with the lower DMI of this diet. A requirement for ruminally undegradable protein intake higher than recommended by NRC was not demonstrated with the highly fermentable diets fed in this study; however, ruminal acetate: propionate ratio and milk fat percentage were low.

Abstract
Effects of dietary fat on dairy cows are reviewed. Dietary fat did not affect gain in BW or body condition score after peak lactation but tended to increase BW loss during early lactation and body fat deposition in growing cattle. Dietary fat decreased de novo fatty acid synthesis in adipose tissue. Basal FFA release from adipose tissue in vitro and beta-adrenergic lipolytic responses were increased by protected polyunsaturated fatty acids. Dietary fat increased body fat in growing pigs and decreased BW loss in lactating sows. Dietary fat decreased de novo fatty acid synthesis and basal glycerol release in adipose tissue and tended to increase simultaneously beta-adrenergic lipolytic responses to increased membrane fluidity. Dietary fat increased body fat in rats. Polyunsaturated fatty acids were sometimes less efficient than saturated ones in increasing body fat. Lipoprotein lipase activity in adipose tissue generally decreased. Hepatic fatty acid synthesis was decreased sharply by polyunsaturated fatty acids, and adipose tissue response was less important. beta-Adrenergic-stimulated lipolysis decreased, and fatty acid esterification increased, particularly from saturated fatty acids. A trend toward insulin resistance, which was more marked with saturated fatty acids, occurred in adipose tissue.

Abstract
Holstein cows (n = 33) were assigned to one of three diets containing soybean meal, supplemental fat from extruded soybeans, or supplemental fat from Ca soaps of fatty acids. Total mixed diets containing (DM basis) 25% corn silage, 25% alfalfa hay, and 50% of the respective concentrate mixtures were fed wk 4 through 15 postpartum. Milk production (29.2, 32.4, and 31.8 kg/d) was higher for cows fed supplemental fat diets. Milk protein percentages (2.99, 2.93, and 2.81) were higher for cows fed the soybean meal diet and were higher with extruded soybeans than with Ca soaps of fatty acids. Milk fat percentages (3.20, 2.69, and 3.47) were higher for cows fed Ca soaps of fatty acids than for cows fed extruded soybeans. Milk fat from cows fed supplemental fat was more unsaturated than from those fed soybean meal and was most unsaturated from cows fed extruded soybeans. Dry matter intakes (17.8, 18.4, and 16.6 kg/d) were not significantly different among diets. Extruded soybeans and Ca soaps of fatty acids were equally effective in increasing milk production, but milk fat content was reduced, and the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in milk fat was increased, with extruded soybeans.

Abstract
Four multiparous Holstein cows averaging 36 DIM and fitted with ruminal cannulas were utilized in a 4 x 4 Latin square design to investigate the effects of feeding extruded whole soybeans and Ca salts of long-chain fatty acids. Treatments were diets containing 1) no added fat, 2) 16% extruded whole soybeans, 3) 16% extruded whole soybeans and 3% Ca salts of long-chain fatty acids, and 4) 16% extruded whole soybeans and 6% Ca salts of long-chain fatty acids. Cows were fed for ad libitum intake a diet of alfalfa haylage, corn silage, and concentrate (35:15:50, DM basis). Intakes of DM and energy and production of milk, 4% FCM, fat, CP, and SNF were decreased by feeding extruded whole soybeans and 6% Ca salts of long-chain fatty acids, but differences were small among the other treatments. The weight percentages and yields of C18:0, C18:1, and C18:2 in milk were increased, and most shorter chain fatty acids were decreased, by feeding supplemental fat. Digestibilities of DM, OM, ADF, soluble residue, total C18 fatty acids, and total fatty acids were decreased, but digestibility of hemicellulose was increased by feeding supplemental fat. The largest decrease in digestibilities of most dietary constituents and in energy and N utilization occurred when 16% extruded whole soybeans plus 6% Ca salts of long-chain fatty acids were fed to the cows. Calcium salts of long-chain fatty acids can supply up to 3% of the dietary DM in diets containing 16% extruded whole soybeans without having deleterious effects on most variables measured in this experiment.

Abstract
Four cows were utilized in a 4 x 4 Latin square design to investigate the effects of feeding Ca salts of long-chain fatty acids. Treatments were control diet with 1) no added fat, 2) 3% Ca salts of long-chain fatty acids, 3) 6% Ca salts of long-chain fatty acids, and 4) 9% Ca salts of long-chain fatty acids. Cows were fed chopped alfalfa hay, alfalfa haylage, corn silage, and concentrate (15:22:13:50) on a DM basis. Dry matter intake, energy intake, and ruminal fermentation were not altered greatly until Ca salts of long-chain fatty acids constituted 9% of DMI. Digestibilities of DM, OM, ADF, NDF, and hemicellulose were not affected by treatment. Digestibilities of cellulose, soluble residue, total C18 fatty acids, and total fatty acids followed quadratic patterns. Absorption of N was increased linearly when fat was fed, but digestibility of Ca was decreased linearly. Milk production, CP, and SNF were not altered greatly by inclusion of 3 or 6% Ca salts of long-chain fatty acids in the diet, but inclusion of 9% Ca salts of long-chain fatty acids decreased their production. Calcium salts of long-chain fatty acids increased milk fat percentage and production of fat and FCM when fed as 3 or 6% of the dietary DM but decreased yields of milk fat and FCM when fed as 9%. Calcium salts of fatty acids can be fed to provide up to 6% of the dietary DM without deleterious effects on ruminal fermentation and digestibilities of most nutrients.

Abstract
Four multiparous Holstein cows averaging 133 d postpartum and fitted with ruminal cannulas were utilized in a 4 x 4 Latin square design to investigate the effects of feeding diets containing whole soybeans and tallow. Treatments were 1) control, no added fat; 2) control and 10% whole raw soybeans; 3) control, 10% whole raw soybeans, and 2.5% tallow; and 4) control, 10% whole raw soybeans, and 4.0% tallow. Cows were fed for ad libitum intake a diet of alfalfa haylage, corn silage, and concentrate (45:5:50, DM basis). Intakes of DM and production of milk, milk CP, milk SNF, and 4% FCM were not affected by feeding supplemental fat. Production of milk fat and weight percentages and yields of long-chain fatty acids in milk fat were increased, whereas weight percentages and yields of short- and medium-chain fatty acids were decreased by feeding supplemental fat. Digestibilities of DM, OM, energy, cellulose, and fatty acids were decreased slightly when fat was added to the diet, but utilization of energy and N for production of milk was not altered. Supplemental fats increased concentrations of NEFA and cholesterol in plasma. These data indicate that relatively large amounts of unprotected fat can be added to the diet of lactating dairy cows without deleterious effects on milk composition, ruminal fermentation, or nutrient digestibilities.

Abstract
Thirty-six Holstein cows were assigned to one of three diets containing soybean meal (16% CP), added fat from extruded soybeans (16% CP), and added fat and protein from extruded soybeans plus soybean meal (18% CP) to determine whether feeding additional protein would prevent the depression in milk protein percentages usually experienced when cows are fed additional fat. Total mixed diets containing 25% corn silage, 25% alfalfa hay, and 50% of respective concentrate mixtures were fed individually wk 4 through 16 postpartum; pretreatment (wk 3 postpartum), milk production, and composition data were used as covariates. Milk production (33.0, 35.8, and 34.2 kg/d) was higher for cows fed added fat. Milk protein (2.92, 2.88, and 2.83%) and casein (2.16, 2.13, and 2.09%) tended to decrease for cows fed added fat and did not increase with higher dietary protein. Dry matter intakes (20.9, 20.7, and 19.8 kg/d) and BW were similar for all diets. Supplementing additional CP to a diet containing added fat did not prevent depression in milk protein percentage.

Abstract
Forty-eight multiparous Holstein cows were used in an experiment with a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments to study interactions of bST and nutrient density during wk 5 through 20 postpartum. Main effects were bST (0 or 10.3 mg/d) and diet (control or high protein and energy). The control diet was formulated to contain 16.3% CP and 1.65 Mcal of NEL/kg of DM; the high protein and energy diet was formulated to contain 18% CP and 1.74 Mcal of NEL/kg of DM with additional energy as fat from extruded soybeans and calcium salts of fatty acids. Diet ratios were 50:25:25 for concentrate:alfalfa hay:corn silage (DM basis). Bovine somatotropin increased milk production (40.9 vs. 37.9 kg/d) and production of 4% FCM (35.7 vs. 32.3 kg/d). The high protein and energy diet increased milk production (40.3 vs. 38.5 kg/d); 4% FCM production was higher for high protein and energy plus bST (36.0 kg) than without bST (33.6 kg). Percentage of milk fat was not affected by treatment. Percentage of milk protein was reduced with the high protein and energy diet, presumably because of the added fat, but this reduction was less with high protein and energy plus bST. Dry matter intake was not significantly elevated by bST (23.1 vs. 22.8 kg/d) but was lower for high protein and energy (22.0 vs. 23.8 kg/d). Increased dietary protein and energy with bST augmented the total milk production response.

Abstract
Forty-six multiparous Holstein cows were fed one of three total mixed diets from 15 to 119 d postpartum with alfalfa silage as the only forage. Each diet contained 50% forage and 50% concentrate on a DM basis. Diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous by replacing corn and solvent soybean meal with raw soybeans or heat-treated soybeans. The proportion of protein supplement in the diet on a DM basis was 10% soybean meal, 13% raw soybeans, or 13% heat-treated soybeans. The soybeans were heat-treated to maximize the amount of available lysine passing to the small intestine. The soybean meal diet was fed to all cows during wk 1 and 2 postpartum for covariate adjustment of DMI and milk production. Intake of DM was similar across treatments. Feeding heat-treated soybeans supported more milk (4.5 kg/d), 3.5% FCM (4.0 kg/d), and milk protein (.09 kg/d) than soybean meal or raw soybeans. Milk fat percentage was not altered by treatments. However, milk protein percentage was depressed in cows fed heat-treated soybeans compared with soybean meal (2.85 vs. 2.99%, respectively). Milk production response of cows fed properly heat-treated soybeans compared with soybean meal with alfalfa silage as the sole forage is thought to be related primarily to improved supply of undegraded intake protein.

Abstract
Twenty-four Holstein cows, including four primiparous and four ruminally cannulated, were in replicated 4 x 4 Latin squares with 21-d periods to determine the effects of feeding level of whole roasted soybeans on lactation performance and rumen function. Cows were fed rations containing a 50:50 forage:concentrate ratio with 0, 12, 18, or 24% of diet DM as whole roasted soybeans. Rations contained 16.8, 16.9, 18.6, and 19.7% CP and 1.68, 1.71, 1.72, and 1.74 Mcal NEL/kg DM, respectively. Milk production and milk fat percentages for diets containing 0, 12, 18, or 24% whole roasted soybeans were 34.9, 37.5, 38.5, and 38.8 kg/d and 3.23, 3.20, 3.32, and 3.37%, respectively. Milk protein percentage was depressed at all levels of whole roasted soybeans. Ruminal pH, VFA molar percentages except valerate, and DM disappearance of forage from dacron bags did not differ among treatments. Responses were similar among primiparous and multiparous cows. Results suggest benefit from feeding whole roasted soybeans at levels up to 18% of ration DM without adversely affecting DMI, milk fat, or rumen fermentation.

Abstract
The theory that feeding cows additional fat during early lactation will result in greater total lactational production and improved reproductive efficiency was evaluated using 305-d lactational data from 94 cows fed control diets and 96 cows fed additional dietary fat during wk 4 through 16 postpartum. Added fat in diets was supplied by oilseeds, either soybeans or sunflowers, in previously reported studies. Milk yield during wk 4 through 16 postpartum was 2.8% higher for cows fed added fat. Total lactational yield was increased 3.6% for cows fed additional fat in early lactation; 71% of the additional milk production occurred after discontinuing the feeding of additional fat. Percentages of milk fat and protein were lower when cows were fed added fat and remained lower for the remainder of the lactation. Days to first breeding, days open, and services per conception were not reduced by feeding added fat during early lactation. Milk production and persistency for the entire lactation were increased by feeding additional fat during early lactation, but changes in reproductive efficiency were not detected.

Abstract
Adding 0, 5, 15, and 20% of substrate as prilled or unprilled fatty acids [palmitic (47 to 48%), stearic (36 to 37%), and oleic (14%) acids] to an in vitro rumen fermenter had no effect on total VFA production. Acetate:propionate ratio was reduced by fatty acid concentrations of 15 and 20% (prilled and unprilled). In a 4 x 4 Latin square, increasing dietary prilled fatty acids (0, 3, 6, or 9% of DM) decreased DM intake, increased percentage of milk fat, and had no effect on percentage of milk protein. Milk volume and FCM increased with 3% but decreased with 6 and 9% dietary fatty acids. Rumen fluid acetate:propionate decreased with increasing dietary fatty acids. Holstein cows in three herds in Pennsylvania and Friesian cows in an Israeli herd were assigned randomly to receive, from 0 to 110 to 150 d postcalving, diets containing 0 or 2% of DM prilled fat. In Israel, dietary fat increased milk yield, FCM, and fat percentage during the first 90 d postcalving. In Pennsylvania, prilled fat had variable effects on milk composition and little effect on milk yield and FCM. Conception rate was improved in cows consuming rations containing prilled fat: first service, 59.1 versus 42.6%; all services, 59.3 versus 40.7%. The inclusion of prilled fat at 2% of DM in dairy cattle rations had slight effects on rumen fermentation, variable effects on milk yield and composition, and beneficial effects on conception rate.

Abstract
The depression of milk protein percentages for cows fed high fat diets in early lactation is a major problem facing the dairy industry. In order to describe more fully the mechanism involved, data involved 97 cows observations were summarized. Cows were fed diets containing corn-soybean meal or additional fat in the form of whole oilseeds as the main ingredients in the concentrate mix. Blood samples from the tail artery and subcutaneous abdominal vein were taken approximately 6- to 8-wk postpartum for amino acid analyses. Production of milk during the week of blood sampling was increased (36.9 and 39.6 kg/d) approximately 7.3% but milk protein percentages (2.91 and 2.79) were reduced for cows fed added fat. Intake of DM (21.1 and 21.4 kg/d) and BW (605 and 608 kg) were similar. Uptake of amino acids by the mammary gland, as measured by arteriovenous differences, was numerically lower for all essential amino acids and significantly reduced for histidine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, threonine, valine, and total essential amino acids for cows fed added fat. It is proposed that added fat inhibits somatotropin release from the anterior pituitary, thereby reducing mammary gland uptake of amino acids because of the role of somatotropin in aiding amino acid uptake. Administration of exogenous somatotropin with added fat diets may alleviate milk protein depression associated with such diets.

Abstract
Seventy-three high producing Holstein cows were arranged in a 3 X 2 factorial to evaluate three protein supplements (soybean meal, heat-treated soybean meal, and extruded blend of soybeans and soybean meal) without or with 15 g/head/d of ruminally protected DL-methionine during wk 4 through 16 postpartum. Total mixed diets contained (DM basis) 30% corn silage, 15% alfalfa hay, and 55% of the respective concentrate mix. Milk production was higher when cows were fed either heated soybean product instead of soybean meal. Methionine supplementation increased production when fed with soybean meal (32.2 and 33.8 kg/d) but not when fed with heat-treated soybean meal (34.5 and 33.0 kg/d) or extruded soybeans (36.2 and 34.4 kg/d). Milk fat percentages were lower with extruded soybeans (3.01, 2.93, and 2.66) and were similar without (2.83) or with (2.90) supplemental methionine. Milk protein percentages were highest when fed soybean meal, lowest with extruded soybeans (3.02, 2.92, and 2.87), and higher with supplemental methionine (2.91 and 2.96). Dry matter intake was higher when fed supplemental methionine (20.0 and 21.3 kg/d). Production of milk in early lactation high producing dairy cows was increased by supplementing a soybean meal diet with ruminally protected methionine or by replacing the soybean meal with heat-treated soybean meal, soybeans, or a mixture of the two.
