The effect of forage and breed of lambs on the fatty acid profile of intramuscular fat in m. longis-<br />simus lumborum (LL) and depot fat (SCF) above this muscle was investigated. The study was carried out in two replications on 36 Koluda sheep (KS) and Ile de France&times;KS (IF&times;KS) ram-lambs fattened intensively to 32&ndash;37 kg of body weight. Lambs were fed ad libitum the same concentrate mixture and different roughage supplements: grass hay in group C (control), field forage fed in a sheep house in group F, and pasture grazing (4 h/day) in group P. In the case of LL fat, the composition of fatty acids was found to deteriorate in lambs receiving forages compared to lambs from group C. Lambs grazed on pasture (P) had a higher content of LL fat (2.31 and 1.90% in P and C, respectively; P &le; 0.05), a higher proportion of SFA (42.1 vs 39.6%; P &le; 0.01), a similar proportion of MUFA, and a lower proportion of PUFA (10.4 vs 12.5%; P &le; 0.05). With similar content of depot fat, changes in the FA composition of SCF fat were observed in F lambs compared to group C. Compared to C lambs, SCF of F and P lambs contained less SFA (5.16% vs 46.8; P &le; 0.01 and 49.3%) and more MUFA (41.8% vs 45.6; P &le; 0.01 and 43.6%), with a similar proportion of PUFA and higher CLA content in group P (by 17.8%). The crossing of KS with Ile de France meat rams did not result in any differences in LL fat content, with a generally unfavourable effect on FA composition and health quality parameters calculated on this basis. The present study showed an unfavourable effect of supplemental forage in intensive fattening of lambs on the fatty acid composition of intramuscular fat. However, both variants of forage use had a generally favourable effect on the lipid profile of subcutaneous fat.

The effects of breed and diet containing different types of silages on meat quality parameters and fatty acid profile of m. longissimus lumborum (MLL) were evaluated in a total of 30 Czech Fleckvieh (CF), Charolais (CH) and Charolais &times; Czech Fleckvieh (CH &times; CF) bulls. The animals were fed two mixed diets: MS (based on maize silage) and LCS (based on legume-cereal mixture silage and lucerne silages) with different concentrations of dietary energy and fatty acids. The MLL from CH bulls had the lowest content of dry matter (P &lt; 0.01), less protein (P &lt; 0.01) and lighter meat (P &lt; 0.01) compared to the CF. The extensive LCS diet reduced dry matter (P &lt; 0.01) and intramuscular fat (P &lt; 0.01) and increased the content of hydroxyproline (P &lt; 0.05). The CH bulls exhibited higher PUFA n-3 (P &lt; 0.05) and lower MUFA (P &lt; 0.05) compared to the CF, with the CH &times; CF being intermediate. The LCS diet enhanced the proportions of PUFA (P &lt; 0.05) and PUFA n-3 (P &lt; 0.001) and reduced MUFA (P &lt; 0.001). In conclusion, both breed and diet affected the meat quality and fatty acid profile of the intramuscular fat of the bulls. The replacement of maize silage with the legume-cereal mixture and lucerne silages in the diet reduced the concentration of intramuscular fat and improved its fatty acid profile from the human nutrition perspective.

The aim of this study was to provide information on the fatty acid profile of different adipose depots - subcutaneous (upper and inner backfat layers) and intramuscular (m. Longissimus dorsi) in East Balkan pigs. The animals were reared in free-range conditions and slaughtered at an average live weight of 107?1.65kg. The results of the study showed that the various adipose tissues in pigs have different lipid metabolism and hence differ in their fatty acid composition. Intramuscular fat had significantly higher content of the saturated C16:0 and C18:0 (P<0.001), as well as the C16:1 (P<0.001) than the subcutaneous fat. In regards to the content of the polyunsaturated fatty acids, the latter displayed considerably higher content of both C18:2 and C18:3 (P<0.001) in comparison to the intramuscular fat in m. Longissimus dorsi. The differences between the subcutaneous and intramuscular adipose tissue in the individual fatty acids determined the similar trend of change in the total content of saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Significant differences between the backfat layers were detected for C16:1, C18:0 and C18:3 (P<0.001). Stearic acid (C18:0) displayed higher content of the inner, while both C16:1 and C18:3 had higher proportion in the outer backfat layer in the East Balkan pigs. Except for C20:2, the long chain polyunsaturated n-6 and n-3 fatty acids had significantly higher proportions in the intramuscular fat, however no differences were determined between the two backfat layers.

Pork plays a central role in culinary tradition in Central Europe. Most of the studies determine the fatty acid (FA) content separately in muscles and subcutaneous fat. However, it is also important to determine the FA content of meat products, which contain a mixture of muscles and fat. The determination of FA in carcass tissues is difficult and leads to the destruction of the whole carcass. Thus, the aim of this study was to estimate the FA content of carcass meat (muscles with inter- and intramuscular fat, MC), and carcass soft tissues (muscles with inter- and intramuscular fat and subcutaneous fat, SC) based on a single muscle. Fatty acids were analysed using gas chromatography. Thirty crossbred pigs were fed diets differing in their fatty acid content and n-6:n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio. Samples of Longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LL), Biceps femoris (BF), Semitendinosus (ST), and Semimembranosus (SM) muscles, MC, and SC were taken. Correlation between linolenic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids contents and n-6:n-3 PUFA in examined muscles and MC ranged from 0.809 (SM) to 0.961 (LL), from 0.708 (LL) to 0.954 (ST), from 0.907 (SM) to 0.941 (ST), respectively (P = 0.000). Correlation between linolenic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids contents and n-6:n-3 PUFA in examined muscles and SC ranged from 0.773 (SM) to 0.954 (LL), 0.763 (LL) to 0.983 (BF), and from 0.909 (LL) to 0.940 (ST), respectively (P = 0.000). Results allow estimate the FA content of MC and SC based on their content in single muscles.

The present study envisaged the effects of different levels of dietary copper supplementation on performance, egg quality parameters, serum and yolk cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and yolk fatty acid profile in laying hens. Total 96 Lohman laying hens (38 weeks old) were randomly divided into four groups (n=24 each). Experimental diets were prepared by adding copper (0, 200, 250 or 300 mg/kg) to basal diet and feeding was lasted 12 weeks. Dietary copper supplementation decreased egg weight and feed intake but did not affect other performance parameters compared to the control diet. Shape index, shell weight, shell thickness, yolk color, yolk index, albumen index, and haugh unit were not influenced by dietary copper supplementation, whereas shell strength increased due to the inclusion of copper in the basal diet. Copper supplementation did not affect the fatty acid profile of the egg yolk. The yolk cholesterol ratio decreased by 7.22% in the presence of 250 mg/kg copper supplementation compared to control diet. Therefore, high levels of dietary copper supplementation in the diet of laying hens can be beneficial for improving shell strength and reducing the cholesterol content of the yolk.

The objective of this study was to characterize and compare the tissue-associated differences in the fatty acid profiles of intramuscular and subcutaneous fat from pasture fed nondescript deshi breed bulls of Bangladesh. The average chemical composition of thelongissimusmuscle was as follows: moisture74.65±0.48%, protein21.55±0.83%, intramuscular fat2.78±0.28%, and ash1.02±0.03%. There was significant evidence that the lipids oflongissimusmuscle from the nondescript deshi bulls had a lower content of saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and a higher content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) compared to subcutaneous fat. Intramuscular fat also showed the highest PUFA/SFA and∑n-6/∑n-3fatty acids ratios and total n-3 and n-6 PUFAs compared to subcutaneous tissue depots. Overall findings suggest that the meat from pasture fed nondescript deshi breed can be considered as lean meat and healthy for human consumption.

Different Levels

The objective of the present study was to compare pork quality, composition and palatability of pigs fed different levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and total oil (TO). A 3 × 2 factorial design was used feeding three levels of CLA (0, 0.25, and 0. 5%) and two levels of TO (2 and 5% made up with canola oil). Thirty-six pigs were allotted per diet and diets were fed from 35 to 115 kg liveweight. TO had no effect on longissimus thoracis (LT) moisture or intramuscular fat contents, but feeding CLA decreased LT moisture (P = 0.04) and increased LT intramuscular fat (P = 0.04). CLA and TO had no effect on LT subjective color, structure or marbling scores. Post-mortem LT temperature was also unaffected by feeding CLA or TO. Pigs fed 0.5% CLA had a marginally higher muscle pH (P = 0.01), a tendency toward lower post-mortem lactate levels (P = 0.06) and had higher glycogen concentrations (P = 0.03) at 30 min post mortem. Feeding CLA may thus offer limited protection against rapid post-mortem pH decline. Adding CLA to the diet increased subcutaneous fat hardness (P = 0.01), which was related to increased saturated (P = 0.01) and reduced monounsaturated fatty acid levels (P = 0.01). Increasing TO had an opposite effect resulting in softer fat with lower saturated and higher mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (P = 0.01). Supplementing diets with CLA in combination with canola oil did not have any detrimental effect on pork quality, composition or palatability. Feeding CLA does, however, have the potential to improve pork quality by increasing intramuscular fat levels, reducing post-mortem glycogen utilization rates and increasing subcutaneous fat hardness. Key words: Conjugated linoleic acid, canola oil, pork quality, palatability, marbling, fat composition
