Extract

Nutrition has a major impact on the fatty acid composition of beef, despite high levels of biohydrogenation of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the rumen (Scollan et al., 2006). The latter may be ameliorated by feeding rumen-protected lipid. Grass relative to concentrate feeding results in beef characterised by a higher content of n-3 PUFA and excellent colour shelf life. This study investigated the effects of including a PUFA-rich lucerne-based plant extract (PX) on the fatty acid composition and meat quality in beef.
