“…Warren et al. (2008a) also found that as finishing age increased from 14 to 24 months, intramuscular fat levels increased, especially in grass‐silage diets. As with pigs and poultry, increased PUFA had a negative effect on oxidative stability and shelf‐life; as Warren et al.…”

“…(2008) summarized results by Warren et al. (2008a), an examination of the effects of breed (Aberdeen Angus × Holstein‐Friesian vs. Holstein‐Friesian) and diet (grass silage vs. concentrates) on meat quality. The authors found that Holstein‐Friesian steers had higher levels of PUFA and PUFA:SFA ratios than Aberdeen Angus steers because of higher proportions of phospholipids in the total lipids.…”

“…Meat consumption, particularly that of red and processed meat, is commonly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) (Daviglus, Pirzada, & He, 2017). With red meat being low (typically <5%) in total fat, the causality appears to be driven by high proportions of short chain saturated fatty acids (SFA), particularly C12:0 (lauric acid), C14:0 (myristic acid) and C16:0 (palmitic acid; Micha & Mozaffarian, 2010), together with ω‐6:ω‐3 (omega‐6:omega‐3) ratios as high as 15:1 (Warren et al., 2008a). This, in turn, is perceived to be contributing to “unhealthy” Western diets with typical ω‐6:ω‐3 ratios in excess of 12:1, while the medically recommended ratio is around 3:1 (Simopoulos, 2006).…”

“…Processed meats high in sodium are indeed likely to be drivers of CVD, whereas evidence correlating fresh red meat consumption with heart disease is more lacking (McNeill & Van Elswyk, 2012; Micha, Wallace, & Mozaffarian, 2010). Furthermore, when ruminant animals are finished on grass and clovers, their meat tends to have lower quantities of C16:0, higher quantities of C18:0, and ω‐6:ω‐3 ratios of 2:1 or lower (Warren et al., 2008a), likely resulting in reduced risks of CVD and other inflammatory‐driven diseases when consumed in moderation (Simopoulos, 2006). …”

Framework for life cycle assessment of livestock production systems to account for the nutritional quality of final products

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is widely regarded as a useful tool for comparing the environmental impacts of multiple livestock production systems. While LCA results are typically communicated in the form of environmental burdens per mass unit of the end product, it is increasingly becoming recognized that the product quality also needs to be accounted for to truly understand the value of a farming system to society. To date, a number of studies have examined environmental consequences of different food consumption patterns at the diet level; however, few have addressed nutritional variations of a single commodity attributable to production systems, leaving limited insight into how on‐farm practices can be improved to better balance environment and human nutrition. Using data from seven livestock production systems encompassing cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry, this paper proposes a novel framework to incorporate nutritional value of meat products into livestock LCA. The results of quantitative case studies demonstrate that relative emissions intensities associated with different systems can be dramatically altered when the nutrient content of meat replaces the mass of meat as the functional unit, with cattle systems outperforming pig and poultry systems in some cases. This finding suggests that the performance of livestock systems should be evaluated under a whole supply chain approach, whereby end products originating from different farm management strategies are treated as competing but separate commodities.

The deposition of C 18 fatty acids (FA), especially in rumen biohydrogenation intermediates, was studied using 36 lambs fed four diets with graded proportions of sunflower oil (SO) and linseed oil (LO). Lambs were fed one of four diets consisting on dehydrated lucerne with either: 6% SO, 4% SO plus 2% LO, 2% SO plus 4% LO and 6% LO. The profile of C 18 FA was greatly affected by replacement of SO with LO in both lipid fractions. In PL, oil replacement led to an extensive substitution of 18:2n-6 with 18:3n-3 and cis-9 18:1, resulting in a fairly constant degree of unsaturation of C 18 FA in membrane PL. C 18 FA were differentially incorporated in NL and PL. Cis-isomers like cis-11; cis-12; cis-15 18:1 and cis-12, cis-15 18:2 were preferentially incorporated in PL with the exception of cis-9, cis-15 18:2. Trans C 18 FA, including CLA isomers, were preferentially incorporated in NL with the exception of cis-11, trans-13 18:2. The preferential deposition of biohydrogenation derived trans C 18 FA, including CLA isomers in NL, suggests that their potential to change membrane FA composition and structure is low.

BACKGROUND The study compared the growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality of steers of Xuanhan yellow cattle, Simmental crossbreed cattle (Simmental × Xuanhan yellow cattle) and cattle‐yak (Jersey × yak). All steers were feed with the same diet from 6 months until slaughter at 30 months. The longissimus dorsi muscle was used to compare the meat quality traits. RESULTS By comparison, Simmental crossbreed cattle had higher growth performance (P < 0.05) and carcass characteristics (P < 0.05); cattle‐yak had higher value of a*, b* of meat color (P < 0.05) and higher protein contents of meat (P < 0.05); Xuanhan yellow cattle had higher water holding capacity (P < 0.05) and lower shear force (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The results show that Simmental crossbred cattle had better meat performance and provided low‐fat meat with a beneficial fatty acid composition, but with lower meat quality; cattle‐yaks provided greater meat color and higher protein content; Xuanhan yellow cattle provided meat with preferable tenderness. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry
