Composition Of Australian Red Meat 2002. 2. Fatty Acid Profile, V. Droulez, P. G. Williams, G. Levy, T. Stobaus, A. Sinclair

Peter Williams

Australian retail samples of nine beef, six lamb, four veal and two mutton cuts were purchased from 10 retail outlets (butchers and supermarkets) in different socio-economic areas of Sydney and Melbourne. The lean and fat components were analysed for contents of total and individual fatty acids. The content of total fatty acids was less than 5g/100g edible meat in the lean component of all cuts analysed. Saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids comprised, on average, 40% and 42% respectively of total fatty acids in the lean component of red meat cuts. The saturated fatty acid content of the lean component of …

Peter Williams

This study aimed to update data on the gross composition Australian red meat to reflect changes in butchering practices since the 1980s and 1990s when the current values were derived. Australian retail samples of fifteen beef, eleven lamb, four veal and two mutton cuts were purchased from 10 retail outlets (butchers and supermarkets) in different socio-economic areas of Sydney and Melbourne. For both raw and cooked samples, mean external fat width (mm) was measured and the average percentage of separable internal, external and total fat, lean and waste was determined by dissection of each cut. For raw beef, total separable …

The Effect Of Concentrate- And Silage-Based Finishing Diets On The Growth Performance And Carcass Characteristics Of Suffolk Cross And Scottish Blackface Lambs, Muhammad Iqbal Mustafa, John P. Chadwick, Pervez Akhtar, Safdar Ali, Muhammad Lateef, Javed Iqbal Sultan

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In the present study 48 Suffolk x Mule (S x M) and 48 Scottish Blackface (SBF) wether lambs were used in a 2 breeds x 2 diets x 4 replications factorial experiment with 6 lambs per pen. Lambs were offered either a concentrate (CONC) finishing diet (DM: 876 g kg^{-1}, estimated ME: 10.9 MJ kg^{-1} of DM, estimated DUP: 32.4 g kg{-1} of DM) ad libitum, together with 100 g hay head^{-1} day^{-1}, or silage (SIL) offered ad libitum (D value: 67.2), together with up to 450 g head^{-1}day^{-1}of a concentrate supplement (DM: 888 g kg^{-1}, estimated ME: 10.9 MJ …
