Extract

Performances traits like live weight gain, feed conversion ratio or carcass quality were in the past the main objectives in beef meat production. Nowadays consumers attach an increasingly large importance to technological and nutritional qualities. In terms of dietetic, a low fat content associated with a high polyunsaturated fatty acids content and a low n-6/n-3 ratio is required. In this context, the present work was undertaken to compare performances and meat characteristics in young fattening bulls of 3 beef breeds offered 2 different diets.
