This study was conducted to evaluate the period of chromium yeast supplementation on lipid profile backfat and Longissimus lumborum muscle barrows. It evaluated carcass samples from forty barrows, genetically similar. Pigs diets were supplemented with 0.4 mg kg-1 in four periods (0, 38, 62 94 days before slaughter). The experimental design completely randomized treatments, ten replicates, each ...

Background: Biofloc technology (BFT) is an ecofriendly aquaculture production system. In this, various carbon sources being used for floc production. However, the cheapest source would make it economically feasible. this context, present study purified distillery spent wash (DSW) as a to evaluate its viability on biofloc composition and carcass quality of GIFT strain. Methods: Nursery trial was...

Meat from small ruminants is considered a high quality and delicacy product in many countries. Several benefits have been perceived probiotics as dietary supplements, such improved carcass weight, color, tenderness, flavor, muscle fiber structure, water-holding capacity, healthy fatty acid profile of the meat. Thus, present review focuses on effect improving meat ruminants. Though associated wi...

A feedlot trial was conducted to determine the effect of dietary vitamin A concentration and roasted soybean (SB) inclusion on carcass characteristics, adipose tissue cellularity, and muscle fatty acid composition. Angus-crossbred steers (n = 168; 295 +/- 1.8 kg) were allotted to 24 pens (7 steers each). Four treatments, in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement, were investigated: no supplemental vitam...

Carcass composition, muscle fatty acids and eating quality of loin chops were examined in ram lambs from four diverse breed × production system groups: pure Welsh Mountain off upland flora, pure Soays off lowland grass, Suffolk crosses off lowland grass and Suffolk crosses off concentrates. The two Suffolk groups had heavier and better muscled carcasses than the others and Soays were particular...

Backgrounds: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease and free fatty acids, as signaling molecules, can play a crucial role in the development of it. Different free fatty acids, through various cell membrane receptors, induce different effects on metabolic pathways and thereby affect insulin sensitivity. Simvastatin is a cholesterol decreasing drug prescrib...

Fatty acid synthesis in KK mouse, which exhibits a hereditary obese-hyperglycemic syndrome, was studied. Incorporation of [U-14C] glucose into liver fatty acid in vivo was more than four times higher in KK compared with control mice ( CF 1 ), but no significantly increased incorporation was observed into carcass fatty acid. Incorporation of [1-14C] acetate into liver fatty acid in vivo was also...

An 8-wk study of the effects of CLA, rendered animal fats, and ractopamine, and their interactive effects on growth, fatty acid composition, and carcass quality of genetically lean pigs was conducted. Gilts (n = 228; initial BW of 59.1 kg) were assigned to a 2 x 2 x 3 factorial arrangement consisting of CLA, ractopamine, and fat treatments. The CLA treatment consisted of 1% CLA oil (CLA-60) or ...

The process called biohydrogenation occurs mainly in ruminant animals and during it, unsaturated fatty acids, and particularly poly-unsaturated ones (linoleic and linolenic) coverts to a saturated form of stearic acid. For many years, the beneficial effects of biohydrogenation intermediate fatty acids like cis-9 trans-11 linoleic acid, the main natural isomer of conjugated linoleic acids (CLA),...

The objective of this trial was to determine if daily supplementation of flaxseed for 85 d to steers finished on grasslands of the northern Great Plains would influence growth and carcass characteristics or the fatty acid profile, tenderness, and sensory characteristics of beef steaks. Eighteen Angus yearling steers (initial BW 399 ± 21 kg) were randomly divided into 3 groups. Steers in treatme...
