Extract

Under controlled experimental conditions, ruminally protected lipid supplements (PLS) rich in 18:2n-6 and 18:3n-3 have been successful in creating large shifts in the fatty acid composition of beef muscle (Scollan et al., 2003). However, there is a need to test methodology under commercial conditions and with a wider range of breed types. This study was conducted at a Yorkshire Farm and used Charolais Cross and the Stabiliser breed, a mix of 5 breeds designed to combine efficient production and good carcass quality.
