ABSTRACT
Current analytical methods for amino acid (AA) analysis in ruminant nutrition are time-consuming and expensive. This study aimed to develop a method for AA analysis that is faster, more efficient, rugged, and accessible. Four representative matrixes were selected for method development and validation milk, tissue, feed, and soy flour standard reference material from National Institute of Standards and Technology. Acid and alkaline hydrolysis were used to analyze 18 AA. Separation of AA was performed using a Z-HILIC column in an 18-min run coupled to a triple quadrupole LC/MS system in positive and negative electrospray ionization for identification and quantitation. The method was evaluated for recovery, precision, calibration curve linearity, and limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantitation (LOQs) and applied to other feed samples. Good quantitation results were achieved for all AA, with coefficients of determination (R2) over 0.995; LODs at 0.2-28.2 and LOQs at 0.7-94.1 ng/mL; intraday and interday precision <14.9% relative standard deviation; blank recovery between 75.6 and 116.2%; and sample recovery between 75.6 and 118.0%. Overall, AA concentrations were similar to literature values, and there was a tendency for higher N recovery as AA. In conclusion, an efficient and robust method was validated to routinely analyze AA for appropriate characterization in diet formulation for dairy cattle.
