Abstract

has been found that administering 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 to ruminants helps to eliminate or at least reduce the need for supplemental inorganic P in the diets while maintaining milk production or growth performance. Furthermore, the excretion of P with the manure will be reduced and thus a positive effect on the environment will be achieved. Thus one aspect of this invention is a method of promoting phosphorus utilization in ruminants, comprising administering a sufficient amount of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 to the animal, preferably as a feed additive. Another aspect of the invention relates to the use of a 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 for promoting or improving phosphorous utilization in ruminants and for reducing the excretion of P via faeces and urine. e effect on the environment will be achieved.

Description

USE OF 25-HYOROXY VITAMIN D3 TO PROMOTE PHOSPHOROUS UTILISATION IN RUMINANTS It is well recognized that animals respond to Phosphorous (P) supplementation in terms of improved r fertility, improved frame size and growth rates. Large areas of grazing land around the world in particular Sth Africa, Sth America and Northern Australia are ely Phosphorus deficient. Supplementation with Phosphorus is commonly used to improve animal productivity in these areas.
A large amount of phosphate is also present in animal feed in form of phytate phosphorus. In particular, the alkali or earth alkali salts of phytic acid occur naturally mainly in grains and s.
Phosphorous present in the diet not absorbed and not incorporated into tissue or milk is excreted via faeces and urine. The presence of P in manure has serious environmental consequences, and some countries have enacted strict legal ls on the amount of P which can be t in manure.
It is an aspect of the present invention to suggest a method of promoting or improving phosphorous utilization in ruminants which also reduces the level of phosphorous pollution of the environment In accordance with the present invention it has been found that administering 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 to ruminants helps to increase Phosphorus absorption and maintain higher blood Phosphorus concentrations in cattle offered a low Phosphorus diet. This may also eliminate or at least to reduce the need for supplemental inorganic P in the diets while maintaining milk production or growth performance. Furthermore, the excretion of P with the manure will be d and thus a positive effect on the environment will be achieved.
Thus one aspect of this invention is a method of promoting phosphorus utilization in ruminants, comprising administering a ient amount of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 to the animal.
Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of promoting phosphorous utilization in a ruminant animal and reducing phosphorous concentration in the excrement of the animal, comprising administering a ient amount of 25-hydroxy n D3 to the .
Another aspect of the ion relates to the use of a 25-hydroxy n D3 for improving phosphorous utilization in ruminants and for reducing the excretion of P via faeces and urine.
Another aspect of the invention relates to use of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D3 for promoting orous utilization in a ruminant animal and reducing orous concentration in the excrement of the animal.
As used throughout the specification and claims, "25-OH D3" means 25-hydroxy n D3.
The discussion of documents, acts, materials, devices, articles and the like is included in this specification solely for the purpose of providing a context for the present invention. It is not suggested or ented that any or all of these matters formed part of the prior art base or were common general knowledge in the field relevant to the present invention as it existed before the priority date of each claim of this application.
Where the terms "comprise", "comprises", "comprised" or "comprising" are used in this specification (including the claims) they are to be reted as ying the presence of the stated features, integers, steps or components, but not precluding the presence of one or more other features, integers, steps or components, or group thereof.
There are about 150 species of nts which include both domestic and wild s. Ruminants include cattle (bovines), goats, sheep and camels. Preferred ruminants according to this invention are , for example dairy cows and beef cattle.
While many benefits of supplementing a diet with Vitamin 0 and/or 25-OH D3 are previously described, especially ing bone health, little is known about Vitamin 0 and its derivatives' effect on phosphorus utilization in the animal.
For example, Tritsch et al. (US 2003/0170324) disclose a feed premix composition of at least 25-OH D3 in an amount between 5% and 50% ) dissolved in oil and an antioxidant, an agent encapsulating droplets of 25-OH D3 and oil, and a nutritional ve (e.g., Vitamin D3 ). The premix may be added to poultry, swine, canine, or feline feed. This composition stabilizes 25-OH D3 against oxidation.
Simoes-Nunes et al. (US 2005/0064018) discloses adding a combination of 25-OH D3 and Vitamin D3 to animal feed. In particular, about 10 µg/kg to about 1OOµg/kg of 25-OH D3 and about 200 IU/kg to about 4,000 IU/kg of Vitamin D3 are added to swine feed.
This addition improves the ruminant's bone strength. - 2a - Stark et al. (US 5,695,794) disclose adding a ation of 25-OH D3 and Vitamin D3 to poultry feed to rate the effects of tibial ndroplasia.
Borenstein et al US 5,043, 170 discloses the combination of Vitamin D3 and either 1- alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol or 1-alpha, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol to e egg strength and leg strength in laying hens and older hens.
While not wishing to be bound by theory, it appears that 25-OH D3 shows an effect on P metabolism in two ways: On one hand it stimulates P absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and on the other hand it improves bioavailability of P into tissues.
For the purposes of the invention, 25-OH D3 is suitably administered as supplement to animal feed. Feed may be supplemented by admixing 25-OH D3, e.g., as a commercial formulation such as available under the Trademark ROVIMIX® Hy·O® 1.25% to regular feed or by first preparing a premix of a feed WO 60216 component and 25-OH D3 and subsequent mixing the premix with other feed components. The feed can be any conventional ruminant feed. The term feed as used herein comprises both solid and liquid feed as well as drinking fluids such as drinking water.
Particularly, 25-OH D3 can be administered to the animal in form of a slow release bolus either alone or with other compounds such as rumen modifiers, ionophores, methane inhibitors etc or as a formulated powder to a premix containing other minerals, vitamins, amino acids and trace elements which premix is added to regular animal feed and thorough mixing to e even distribution n.
Generally, 25-OH D3 is added to the feed in an amount required to administer from about 0.1 ug to about 5.0 ug, especially about 0.5 ug to about 3.0 ug 25-OH D3 per kg body weight of an dual animal per day.
More specifically, in the manufacture of a ruminant feed in accordance with the ion, from about 10 ug/kg to about 1000 ug/kg of 25-OH D3 are suitably added to r ruminant feed. Alternatively, a feed premix may be prepared on the basis of regular feed components by adding active ingredients to such feed components in higher concentration, e.g., in a tration of from about 10 mg/kg to about 1000 mg/kg of 25-OH D3. If one kg of such premix is added per 1000 kg of regular feed this would typically meet the individual need of the animal by normal feed consumption.
For dairy cows and beef cattle, the dosage can range from about 10 ug to about 1000 pg per kg cattle feed diet, preferably from about 50 to about 80 ug 25-OH D3 per kg diet. For other ruminants, the amounts are similar, and can be based on the amount of feed given per day. For optimum results, the 25-OH supplementation should be part of a diet which contains an adequate supply of nutrients, generally known to be of benefit to the organism.
The efficiency of the treatment of cattle in accordance with the invention can be seen from the experiments described below.
In an experimental cattle farm, two groups of animals were selected for the following experiment with a low Phosphorous diet.
One group received the control diet which was the standard roughage diet without the supplementation of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D3_ The other group received the mental diet which was the standard roughage diet supplemented with 2,000 ug 25-hydroxy-vitamin D3 per head/day After 1, 11, 12, 13 and 14 days the blood plasma concentration of phosphorous was measured by standard method. The results (Figure 1) show a significant increase in phosphorous concentration in blood plasma for the group with the experimental diet at least after 10 days.
Additionally the phosphorous concentration in g/day was measured or/calculated in the diet, faeces and urine. The results are summarized in the table below and are consistent with measured plasma concentrations as shown in Figure 1. The s also show a significant decrease of P ion by the animal after 25-OH D3 supplementation. -mm--m
