Effect of particle size and soybean oil supplementation on growth performance, carcass and meat quality and fatty acid composition of intramuscular lipids of lambs

Growth performance, carcass and meat quality of lambs supplemented with increasing levels of a tanniferous bush (Cistus ladanifer L.) and vegetable oils

“…In the same way, supplementation up to 8% oil of lamb diets had no effect on meat colour parameters at day 0 of storage, confirming the results of Santos-Silva et al (2004), Bessa et al (2005), Manso et al (2009) and Jerónimo et al (2012). In contrast, the results of Radunz et al (2009) on lambs, showed that the supplementation with a vegetable oil blend, composed by soybean and linseed oil (2:1 respectively) resulted in lighter meat.…”

“…The use of lipids as a supplement increases the energy density of diets, which can justify the slight raise of carcass adiposity that was observed and that is in accordance to Santos-Silva, Mendes, Portugal, and Bessa (2004) and Bessa et al (2005). However, the results may be influenced by the nature and level of lipid supplementation, the breed and growth phase and basal diet, justifying the absence or low influence of oil on carcass composition reported by several authors (Ferreira et al, 2014;Manso, Bodas, Castro, Jimeno, & Mantecon, 2009;Radunz et al, 2009).…”

Fatty acids, lipid and protein oxidation, metmyoglobin reducing activity and sensory attributes of <i>biceps femoris</i> muscle in goats fed a canola and palm oil blend

“…Diet had no effect on consumers' perception of tenderness, juiciness, flavour and overall acceptability of goat meat (Table 7). This finding is in tandem with that of Santos-Silva et al (2004), who found that supplementation with soybean oil did not affect the sensory attributes of lamb meat. Post mortem storage did not affect sensory attributes of goat meat.…”

The trans-octadecenoic fatty acid profile of beef: Implications for global food and nutrition security

“…For example, Santos-Silva, Mendes, Portugal, and Bessa (2004) found that when forages were supplemented with soybean oil, the enrichment of muscle lipids with VA was higher with hay than with ground and pelleted Lucerne. Similarly, Shingfield et al (2005) reported higher PUFA transfer efficiency from diet to tissues when hay as compared to silage was provided as a forage source.…”
