Carcass traits, meat yield and fatty acid composition of adipose tissues and Supraspinatus muscle in goats fed blend of canola oil and palm oil

Abstract: BackgroundDietary fats can alter the deposition and distribution of body fats in ruminants. The deposition and distribution of body fat play a vital role in the quality of ruminant carcasses and are of great commercial value since they influence the profitability and consumer acceptability of ruminant meat. The current study examined the effects of dietary blend of 80 % canola oil and 20 % palm oil (BCPO) on carcass characteristics, meat yield and accretion of fatty acid (FA) in subcutaneous, omental, perirena… Show more

“…The major fatty acids in the muscles were C18:1n-9, C18:0 and C16:0. Similar findings were observed in beef [ 68 ], chevon [ 69 ] and mutton [ 70 ]. Muscle type had no effect ( P > 0.05) on the FA composition.…”

“…Due to the high energy density and being low priced, dietary fats can be used to solve the glitches of energy supply in ruminants [ 1 – 3 ]. Also, dietary unsaturated fats can be utilized to alter the fatty acid (FA) profile of ruminant meat [ 2 ] and milk [ 3 ]. However, dietary supplementation of unsaturated fats especially polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), if not stabilized, could instigate oxidative stress in animals [ 3 , 4 ].…”
