Efect of whole linseed and CLA addition to the dietc of friesian young bulls on animal performance and meet colour stability
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
