Biotechnological aspects of the use of vegetable oils in the production of meat products

Abstract

Biotechnological processes are becoming an important component of the world’s economy, including agro-industrial production. They are based on the use of biological objects such as plants, animals and microorganisms; biological processes, the effective management of which is the essence of biotechnology in the traditional and modern sense. Biotechnology provides groundbreaking approaches to improving animal health and livestock productivity. This improvement is possible by improving the use of high quality feed, as well as by increasing the efficiency of their use in the body. This problem can be solved by including vegetable oils in full-component diets, which are concentrated sources of energy for the body as a whole and give the feed certain taste and structure. The paper shows the positive effect of the additional introduction of vegetable oils (soybean and linseed ones) on increasing the productive qualities of beef cattle.
