Supplementing ruminant animal diets with fat has been investigated as a means to influence a variety of physiological processes or to alter fatty acid composition of food products derived from ruminant animals. Several digestion experiments have been conducted with beef cattle and sheep to elucidate the effects of supplemental fat on utilization of other dietary components. Negative associative...

Soybean oil is a high source of unsaturated fatty acids which if given to sheep have the potential accumulate in meat. However, rumen undergoes biohydrogenation by microbes, and addition fat feed has reduce fiber fermentation can an impact on animal performance. This study aimed determine effect combination protected non-protected soybean supplementation characteristics fermentation, nutrient d...

ABSTRACT Beef composition are directly influenced by the dietary fat, particularly in ruminants, due to rumen biohydrogenation, which promotes alterations fatty acid (FA) profile and affects meat quality. sensorial, chemical, FA compositions of intramuscular subcutaneous fat were evaluated, from 40 Nellore males finished on feedlot diet based, containing cottonseed (CSB) soybean by-product (SOB...
