    Fourty-eight Friesian young bulls were fed 110 mg vitamin E/kg feed and 1 of 4 diets: control (0% linseed or CLA), linseed (10%), CLA (2%), and linseed+CLA (10+2%). Animal performance and carcass characteristics were not affected (P>0.05) by the addition of linseed, CLA or their combination in the diet. Meat colour stability evaluated during 14 days did not differ (P>0.05) among the four diets, possibly due to supplementation with high levels of vitamin E. Results indicate that inclusion of linseed and/or CLA in the diet of young bulls have not detrimental effects on animal performance or meat shelf life as determined by colour stabilit

    Effect of the supplementation of dietsenriched in N-3 and CLA fatty acids on the conjugated fatty acid profile of meat from Holstein

    There is a potential interest to improve the content of CLA in meat due to their healthy properties in the human species. Many studies have suggested that it is possible to increase the level of these fatty acids in beef when the animals are fed with diets enriched with linseed. In this study the inclusion of linseed and CLA in the diet has led to increase the level of 9c11tCLA and the linolenic acid and decrease the ratio of n6/n3 in meat
