Meat Quality, Fatty Acid Composition, Blood Parameters and Nucleotide Compounds Analysis Fed Long Chain Fatty Acid Calcium Salts in Hanwoo Steers (Korean Native Cattle)

摘要

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding long chain fatty acid calcium salts (LCFA-Ca) on meat quality, blood parameters and nucleotide compounds of Hanwoo (Korean native cattle). Methodology: A total of 69 animals with mean body weight of 599±5 kg were divided into three treatments as control (n = 20), group 1 (n = 25) and group 2 (n = 24) were fed (1) control diet with no added fat, (2) 50% linoleic acid and 24% oleic acid containing LCFA-Ca and (3) 26% linoleic acid and 50% oleic acid containing LCFA-Ca, respectively 100 g day?1 animal?1 on Dry Matter Required (DMR) basis. Results: For meat quality, highest cooking loss, shear force and lowest pH was observed in group 1, compared with other two groups, but not reached significant level. The CIE a* value was significantly higher in control group (p6/ω3 were significantly higher in group 2 than the rest of 2 groups (pConclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that LCFA-Ca had impact on meat quality traits of Hanwoo including blood parameters and nucleotide compounds.
