Subcutaneous fatty acid composition of steers finished as weanlings or yearlings with and without growth promotants
Download2013
Baron, V. S., Aalhus, J. L., Turner, T. D., Dugan, M. E. R., Mapiye, C., Basarab, J. A.
Background The current study evaluated the subcutaneous fatty acid (FA) composition of calf- and yearling-fed steers with or without growth promoting implants. Crossbred steers (n = 112; 267 ± 5.0 kg) of the same contemporary group were allocated to one of four production system and implant...
