Extract

In previous research the benefits of grass feeding in lambs for healthiness (fatty acid composition) and flavour have been demonstrated (Fisher et al., 2000). This work examined a very short period of feeding grass or concentrates in a hill breed (Beulah) and a breed noted for meat production (Texel).
