The study aimed to evaluate tannic acid’s influence on lactating cows’ diets on milk production and lipid composition. Five crossbred cows (Holstein x Zebu), distributed in a 5 × 5 Latin square, were used to evaluate the effect of increasing tannic acid (hydrolyzable tannin). The diets were composed of 35 kg of corn silage as bulking and 6.38 kg of concentrate. The treatments consisted of increasing levels of tannic acid added to diets (0%, 1.3%, 2.6%, 3.9% and 5.2%). It was observed a decreasing linear effect (P<0.05) of the inclusion of tannic acid in the concentration of saturated butyric fatty acids (C4:0) presenting a mean of (2.99), and quadratic effect in the concentration of saturated fatty acids lauric (C12:0) presenting mean (26.74). The addition of tannic acid had effects on saturated fatty acids, decreasing the concentrations of butyric acid and increasing the concentrations of lauric acid. Atherogenicity and thrombogenicity rates reveal the potential for the prevention of coronary heart disease. However, the observed changes do not compromise the milk’s chemical composition and nutritional quality, the y nutritional quality of the milk, presenting possibilities of human health benefits, thus enabling the aggregation of value for these products.

Keywords: atherogenicity; fatty acids; nutritional quality; tannin.

Practical Application: Animal nutrition plays a fundamental role in the milk production system because in addition to being a determining tool for production, it influences the quality and is associated with a considerable share of the dairy herd.

1 Introduction
Milk is one of the foods with a crucial nutritional composition for human health. Among the components of milk, fat has been associated with human diseases for years due to its high saturated fatty acid content (Palmquist, 2010). About 70% of the fatty acids in milk triacylglycerols are saturated, 25% are monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and 5% are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (Lopes et al., 2016; Abd El-Salam & El-Shibiny, 2020). Studies have shown nutritional components of milk fat, with an emphasis on conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which consists of a group of fatty acids found predominantly in the milk (Agiral et al., 2020) and meat of ruminant animals, such as cows’ (Ruiz et al., 2016), sheep (Nudda et al., 2014, Madruga et al., 2020), and goat (Apás et al., 2015). In milk, fatty acids can come from the diet, transported to the mammary gland or synthesized by the mammary epithelial cells (Vargas-Bello-Perez et al., 2020).
Animal nutrition plays a fundamental role in the milk production system because in addition to being a determining tool for production, it influences the quality and is associated with a considerable share of the dairy herd (Lopes et al., 2011; Agiral et al., 2020). Some substances that modify milk’s sensory characteristics are likely to result from intense changes in food compounds during digestion and intermediate metabolism from microbial and enzymatic processes (Addis et al., 2006).
Phenolic compounds make a positive contribution to taste at a considerable concentration but tend to be unpleasant as their concentration increases (Urbach, 2006).
Consequently, tannins in the feeding of ruminants can alter the food’s characteristics by interfering with the ruminal biohydrogenation process, allowing changes in the volatile fraction of milk (Delacroix-Buchet & Lamberet, 2000). Tannins were initially considered anti-nutritional biochemicals due to their adverse effects on voluntary consumption and nutrient use (Monteiro et al., 2005). Tannins are known as beneficial phytochemicals, improving ruminal metabolism, decreasing methanogenesis and protein degradation in the rumen, optimizing the production of microbial protein and increasing the flow of protein to the duodenum, targeting groups of specific microbial populations (Goel et al., 2005). Tannins can interfere with ruminal biohydrogenation and to favorably modify the dietary biohydrogenation of PUFAs, in addition to increasing the accumulation of 18: 1 trans-11 acid, due to an inhibition of the last step of biohydrogenation, and also act in the enrichment of acids conjugated linoleic agents (CLAs) in milk and act to inhibit methane emission (Carreño et al., 2015).
The present work hypothesizes that the diet added with tannic acid contribute to better composition of fatty acids in milk. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the addition of tannic acid to the diet of lactating cows and its effect on milk production and lipid composition.

2 Material and methods
2.1 Animals
This research was approved by the Animal Use Ethics Committee (CEUA) of the Federal University of Paraíba (protocol No. 072/2016). The five primiparous crossbred cows (Holstein x Zebu) were used, with about four years old, the average body weight of 420 ± 30kg, 100 days of lactation initial average production of 18 ± 4 kg of milk /cow /day. Before starting the experiment, the cows were dewormed and treated against ectoparasites with 3.5% Ivermectin. The animals were housed in individual stalls with 12m2 fully covered with clay tiles, covered by concrete floor (lined with sugarcane bagasse). All stalls had a masonry feeder and plastic waterer.
The experiment lasted 100 days, divided into 05 periods of 20 days each, with 15 days for adaptation of the animals to the diets and the last 05 days to collect data and samples.
2.2 Diets
The treatments consisted of increasing tannic acid (0; 1.3; 2.6; 3.9 and 5.2%) to replace corn bran in the diet, based on dry matter. The experimental diets were formulated and balanced to meet the requirements of lactating cows with an average production of 18 kg day-1, according to the National Research Council (2007), offered in the form of roughage: concentrated in a fixed ratio of 64:36, respectively. Corn silage was used as roughage, and the concentrate was formulated from ground sorghum, ground corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, urea, and mineral mixture. The cows received 35 kg of corn silage daily as roughage, and 6.38 kg of concentrate composed of 3 kg ground sorghum, 1 kg ground corn, 1.5 kg soybean meal, 0.5 kg wheat bran, 0,2 kg urea, and 0.18 kg mineral mixture (Table 1).
The diet 0 (control) contained the sorghum cultivar BRS Ponta Negra without tannin. The other diets contained sorghum cultivar A9904, with tannin. To achieve increasing doses of tannin, PA acid (C76H52O46), tannic acid, acquired through the company Anidrol® (laboratory products), was added, as it is a source of hydrolyzable tannin. Thus, in the experimental diets (Table 2), two condensed tannin sources were offered through the two sorghum cultivars and hydrolyzable through tannic acid.
Table 2. Percentage and bromatological composition of experimental diets.
Table 2. Percentage and bromatological composition of experimental diets.
The levels of tannic acid added to the diets were established based on the analysis of the amount of condensed tannin present in the sorghum, which, according to the methodology of HCL-Butanol (Hagerman & Butler, 1981) carried out at the Bromatology Laboratory of UAG-UFRPE A9904 (cultivar A9904) was 2.55% of total condensed tannin in DM. Control sorghum (cultivar BRS Ponta Negra) 0.92% of total condensed tannin in DM by Terril et al. (1992) carried out at EMBRAPA Sete Lagoas - MG.
Feeding was offered at will, twice a day, at 6:00 am and 1:30 pm, right after milking, with the concentrate separated from the roughage, to ensure the total consumption of tannic acid, which was added to the concentrate, in the pre-determined proportions of 1.5; 79.5; 157.5 and 235.5 g, in diets 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively. The leftover feed was collected in the morning and weighed to determine consumption; the water was available to all animals ad libitum.
2.3 Sampling of milk
The cows were milked twice a day mechanically, at 5:30 am and 1:00 pm. Before starting milking, the teats were cleaned with water and paper towels. The first jets were discarded in the black-bottomed mug to detect possible cases of clinical mastitis. After milking, the teats were cleaned with a commercial solution of iodine and glycerin. The record of individual milk productions was performed daily throughout the experimental period, by individual weighing (kg day-1), with a scale.
From the 11th to the 15th day of each experimental period, three collections of 200 mL of milk were made from each animal, the milk collected in the morning was stored in three sterile pet`s bottles kept under refrigeration at 4 °C, and the one collected in the afternoon was homogenized together with the chilled in the morning, being bottled and frozen immediately (-18 °C) (Brasil, 2001). The samples were thawed at room temperature, forming a sample composed of the milk collected from each animal for three days during the collection period.
2.4 Physical-chemical analysis of milk
The chemical analysis of fat (%), total solids (%), proteins (%), lactose (%), ash (%), and casein (g 100−1) were performed using an Analyzer of Master Complete® Milk (AKSO®, São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil), under specific technical conditions.
Milk production was corrected to 4% fat (MPC 4%) according to the NRC15 equation: MPC 4% (kg day-1) = (0.4 x MP) + [15 x (% fat x MP / 100)], where: MP corresponds to milk production (kg day-1) and% fat, the percentage of milk fat.
2.5 Fatty acids
The samples were homogenized with glass sticks, and 100 ml aliquots of milk were removed and subjected to centrifugation for 5 minutes to separate the fat. From these samples, 2 g aliquots were obtained for the extraction, saponification, and esterification processes (Folch et al., 1957). We were added to the filtrate 4.4 ml of the 1.5% NaCl solution and centrifuged at 2400 rpm for 20 minutes to separate the phases.
After centrifugation, the nonpolar phase, where fatty acids are in suspension, was transferred to tubes with a lid. These tubes were placed in a water bath at 50 °C and inflated with nitrogen gas until the solvent had evaporated entirely. After obtaining the lipid fraction, esterification was performed as recommended by Kramer et al. (1997). After that, 3.0 ml of the 10% methanolic HCL solution was added and vortexed for 1 minute. Then the tubes were again taken to the water bath at 80 °C for 10 minutes, removed and, after reaching room temperature, 1 ml of hexane and 10 ml of the 6% potassium carbonate solution were added, vortexed, and subsequently centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 5 minutes to collect the supernatant.
The samples were injected in a gas chromatograph (model GC-2010 Plus Shimadzu®) provided with a fused silica capillary column (SP-2560; 100 m, 0,25mm e 0,2µm layer thickness, Supelco®). Stearic acid (C18:0) was used as an external standard and nonadecanoic acid (C19:0) as an internal standard to detect possible losses of fatty acids during the esterification process. The results of fatty acids were quantified by normalizing methyl esters’ areas and expressed as a percentage of area.
From the fatty acid composition data, the total saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), polyunsaturated (PUFA) and the relationships between MUFA and SFA, PUFA and SFA, unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) and SFA were calculated, in addition to omega-6 (n-6) and omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids. The nutritional quality of the lipid fraction was also evaluated using the Atherogenicity (AI) and Thrombogenicity (TI) index, as proposed by Ulbricht & Southgate (Ulbricht & Southgate, 1991).
AI =    ( C12 : 0 +  (4 * C14 : 0) + C16 : 0)  /  ( ΣMUFA + Σn6  + Σn3) ;
TI = (C14 :0 + C16 :0 + C18 :0) /
/ [(0, 5 * Σ MUFA) + (0, 5 * Σ n6) + ( 3 * Σ n3) + ( Σ n3 / Σn6)] ;
2.6 Statistical analysis
Data were subjected to variance analysis (ANOVA), and the averages were compared by Tukey test at 5% probability, through the PROC GLM and regression analysis was executed using the REG procedure on SAS software v 9.0 (Statistical Analysis System Institute, 2010).
3 Results
Dry matter intake, milk production, milk production corrected to 4% fat, fat, protein, ash, total solids, non-greasy solids, acidity, pH, and stability were not influenced (P> 0.05) by the addition of tannic acid to the diet of dairy cows (Table 3).
The DM intake was not influenced (P> 0.05) by the inclusion of tannic acid in the diets, which means that the maximum dose of tannic acid used in this study (hydrolyzable tannin) plus the dose of condensed tannin from the sorghum offered (0.3210 kg/cow/day), did not cause a significant drop in palatability (P> 0.05) to the point of affecting consumption by cows (Table 3).
Lactose was influenced (P <0.05) by including tannic acid in ‘dairy cows’ diet. There was an increase in concentration to the level of 2.6, at the next level, a decrease in concentration, and then at level 5.2, there was an increase.
Fatty acids were not influenced (P> 0.05) by including tannic acid in ‘ dairy cows’ diet. The presence of 24 fatty acids was identified in cow’s milk: 15 saturated with short, medium, and long chains (C4 to C20); 5 medium and long-chain monounsaturated (C14 to C20) and 4 long-chain polyunsaturated (C18 to C20) (Table 4). The PUFA concentration did not change (P> 0.05) due to the tannic acid levels in the cows’ diets. However, the addition of tannic acid at the highest levels increased the concentrations of (α -) Linolenic, (y) - Linolenic acids, Eicosadienoic).
The inclusion of tannic acid in the diet of dairy cows did not influence (P> 0.05) the nutritional quality indexes of the lipid fraction of milk (Table 5), which reflects the absence of more significant effects of treatments on the profile of milk. The Fatty acids from milk fat are available in Table 4.

4 Discussion
Factors such as the composition of dietary carbohydrates, roughage: concentrate and nature of the lipid source, race, and lactation period resulted in changes, mainly in fat content and in the profile of milk fatty acids (Costa et al., 2009). The fat content of milk is following that required by IN 62 (Brasil, 2011), which establishes the minimum standard of 3.0% fat in raw milk.
The variation in the value of lactose was not expected, because according to the literature, this is the component of milk that suffers the least change due to the diet, having an essential role in osmotic regulation of milk (Fonseca & Santos, 2000). Otherwise, the lactose production contributes to higher milk production but our results for the lactose content contradict this hypothesis. Benchaar et al. (2007) observed in cows at the beginning of lactation supplemented with a compound of essential oils with tannins (including thymol, eugenol, vanillin, guaiacol, and limonene) at a dose of 750 mg/cow/day, the lactose concentration in milk that was higher for the cows fed with essential oil compounds when compared to those that did not receive the supplement (4.78 vs. 4.58%), suggesting, therefore, an effect on the concentration of rumen liquid propionate, the primary gluconeogenic substrate for glucose production in the liver that is used for the synthesis of lactose in the mammary gland (Berchielli et al., 2011).
Water consumption can be another answer to the increase in the lactose content. The adequate amount of water ingested is essential for the health and productivity of ruminants. However, some factors, such as annins’ presence, can cause changes in water consumption (Kronberg & Schauer, 2013). The highest water intake observed in the 5.2% treatment (44.97L) probably occurred due to the astringent effects caused in the cows’ mouth probably occurred due to the astringent effects caused the cows’ mouth in concomitant interactions of tannins and salivary proteins. Probably when a higher level of tannic acid was offered in the cows’ diet, drinking more water favoring the breakdown of tannic acid and a greater supply of glucose in the mammary gland for the synthesis of lactose.
According to Nudda et al. (2014), short and medium-chain fatty acids originate from the synthesis of de novo, acetate, and β-hydroxybutyrate, which result from ruminal fermentation. The main metabolic pathway for de novo synthesis involves two lipogenic enzymes: acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthetase. The first is responsible for the formation of malonyl-CoA from acetate, and the second catalyzes the condensation of malonyl-CoA with acetyl-CoA butyryl-CoA, produced from the metabolism of acetate and β-hydroxybutyrate, respectively (Chilliard et al., 2000). In in vitro experiments, Vasta et al. (2009) demonstrated the effect of tannin on ruminal biohydrogenation by inhibiting ruminal microorganisms’ activity, favoring the accumulation of vaccenic acid and a reduction in stearic acid. However, in vivo experiments with tannins on their effect on ruminal biohydrogenation and modification CLA-rich milk composition are contradictory.
Toral et al. (2011) did not find any significant alteration in the profile of PUFA, mainly of the CLA (cis-9, trans-11) of the milk by the addition of tannin extract with sunflower oil in the bed of lactating sheep when compared to the control diet containing sunflower oil. Possibly, the dose used and the type of tannin, or both, may have been responsible for not changing the profile of fatty acids in milk.
Linoleic acids (C18: 2 n-6c) and α – Linolenic acids (C18: 3 n-3) are not biosynthesized in animals, including man, is considered essential, and therefore, must be supplied via diet. It is important to note that Linoleic acid and α - Linolenic acid are the precursors of PUFAω-6 and ω-3 of longer chains. Second Santos & Borto-Lozo (2008) fatty acids of classes ω-3 and ω-6 act in several functions of the body and can contribute to the treatment or prevention of cancer, arthritis, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, blood pressure control, heart rate, vascular dilation, blood clotting, and immune response.
The atherogenicity and thrombogenicity index indicate the potential to stimulate platelet aggregation, once lower AI and TI values, greater the amount of anti -atherogenic fatty acids present in the fat and, consequently, more significant is the potential for preventing the onset of coronary heart disease (Turan et al., 2007). According to Bentes et al. (2009), there are no recommended values for AI and TI in dairy products, and it is considered that the lower the values of these indexes, the better the fatty acid profile for human health. Bobe et al. (2004) mention that dairy products generally have AI around 2, being following the general average (2.26) found in this research for this index.

5 Conclusion
The inclusion of tannic acid up to 5.2% in dairy cows’ diet did not affect the consumption of dry matter, the quality and production of milk, either nor interfered with fatty acids. However, it promoted an increase in lactose content. Atherogenicity and thrombogenicity index reveal the potential for preventing the onset of coronary heart disease.
