Extract

Recent research has focused on a component of ruminant fat, conjugated linoleic acids (CLA), which have been implicated with numerous health promoting properties including anti-carcinogenicity (Belury, 1995). Dietary supplementation with CLA has been shown to have a marked effect on tissue composition in several species, although there is apparently no evidence of such effects being seen in sheep (see Salter et al., 2002). Consequently, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of feeding growing lambs a CLA supplement, protected from rumen degradation, on carcass characteristics and tissue CLA content.
