Feeding microalgae at a high level to finishing heifers increases the long‐chain n‐3 fatty acid composition of beef with only small effects on the sensory quality

Abstract: Summary The aim of the study was to determine the effect of feeding a low and high level of microalgae (MA, high in C22:6n‐3) on the fatty acid (FA) composition and sensory attributes of beef. Thirty Charolais cross Limousin/Friesian heifers were fed one of the three diets (n = 10 per treatment): Control (no MA), low MA (LMA; inclusion rate of 15 g kg−1) or high MA (HMA; inclusion rate of 30 g kg−1) for 95 days before slaughter. Heifers fed HMA had a higher (P < 0.05) content of C20:5n‐3: eicosapentaenoic acid… Show more

“…Omega-3 PUFAs are known to protect against cardiovascular disease, reduce the incidence of some types of cancer and autoimmune illnesses, and are necessary for the healthy development of brain and retina functions (Sokoła-Wysoczańska et al 2018). Ruminant products such as milk, dairy products, and beef have been criticized for their high levels of SFA and low levels of ω-3 PUFA (Kliem and Shingfield 2016;Rodriguez-Herrera et al 2017). Fish oil and microalgae have been used in most research that has attempted to improve the health characteristics of milk and dairy products as the main dietary source of ω-3 PUFA (Givens and Gibbs 2006).…”

“…In goats, it can reduce methane production [ 57 ]. In lambs [ 58 ] and heifers [ 59 ], it can increase n-3 PUFA in the muscle. The concentrations of DHA in previous studies and our study has been summarized in Table 10 .…”

“…But the animals supplemented with linseed oil generate a higher concentration of total n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Enser et al, 2016). Finishing of 95 days with microalgae high in C22:6 n-3, increases eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels and decreases n−6/n−3 fatty acids ratio in beef (Rodriguez-Herrera et al, 2018).…”
