Steers were fed a red clover silage-based diet with or without flaxseed to evaluate over time the effects of flaxseed supplementation on erythrocytes (ERC) trans(t)18:1 isomers composition and their relationships to adipose tissue and muscle t18:1 profiles at slaughter. Concentrations of most ERC...

Steaks from longissimus lumborum and semimembranosus muscles, aged 2 or 27 d, were obtained from a population of steers (n=112) managed to produce a range in tenderness (shear force range from 2.57 to 17.2 kg). All available carcass (live weight, hot commercial weight, pH, temperature, marbling,...

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...
