Longissimus dorsi fatty acids composition of Bos indicus and Bos indicus x Bos taurus crossbred steers finished in pasture

Abstract

Studies were carried out to evaluate the fatty acids composition of Longissimus dorsi muscle, with or without fat thickness, of Bos indicus and Bos indicus x Bos taurus crossbred steers finished in millet (Pennisetum americanum L.) or star grass (Cynodon plectostachyus

The influence of dietary soyabean and linseed on the chemical composition and fatty acid profile of the <i>Longissimus</i> muscle of feedlot-finished bulls

“…Lower results were reported by Silva et al (2002) and Prado et al (2003), who obtained average results of 44.26 and 44.58%, respectively.…”

“…Higher levels were obtained by Prado et al (2003), with an average value of 46.00%, but lower value were reported by Silva et al (2002), who obtained an average result of 42.88%. The average observed value for PUFA in this experiment was 7.60%.…”

“…The average observed value for PUFA in this experiment was 7.60%. Prado et al (2003) observed higher levels, with average results of 11.10 and 9.14%, respectively.…”

“…Lower results were found by Silva et al (2002), with an average value of 5.69%. Prado et al (2003) observed higher levels, with an average value of 9.14%.…”

Growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality of finishing bulls fed crude glycerin-supplemented diets

“…Because of the rising corn costs, alternative feed sources have become a major focus for the livestock industry Prado et al 2003;Abrahão et al 2005;2006;Prado et al 2008b). In Brazil, the biodiesel industry has emerged; its production helps to conserve the environment by reducing global warming gases and also contributes to social development through the generation of jobs (Oliveira et al 2006).…”
