Feeding sunflower cake from biodiesel production to Santa Ines lambs: Physicochemical composition, fatty acid profile and sensory attributes of meat

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the inclusion of sunflower cake in the diets of lambs on meat quality. Forty male, uncastrated Santa Ines lambs with an initial average body weight of 20.9 ± 0.41 kg were used in a completely randomized design with four treatments. The lambs were fed 500 g/kg hay and 500 g/kg concentrate (corn, soybean meal, urea, ammonium sulfate and sunflower cake) in their diet, and the experimental treatments were 0, 10, 20, and 30% sunflower cake inclusion (DM basis).

“…The substitution of animal fat with vegetable and/or marine oils to make healthier meat products has appeared as one of the most promising means of improving the nutritional quality of meat products [ 9 , 21 , 23 , 27 ]. Several studies can show that this approach is useful to increase monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and reduce SFA contents [ 5 , 7 , 9 , 10 , 12 , 21 , 23 , 28 , 29 ].…”

“…However, a rationale for this observation was not apparent. Cooking loss (CL) is a parameter for evaluating meat quality since it is associated with the product yield as it is prepared for consumption and influences juiciness and tenderness of the meat (Lima et al, 2018). As with luminosity, cooking loss was lower for meat from sheep fed the intermediate levels of BGS.…”

“…The LEA is an indication of the animal's muscularity, representing the amount of meat that can be commercialized. An increase in LEA can be related to a greater availability of energy in the diets with higher proportions of concentrate (Lima et al ., 2018), which is expected to enhance animal performance. Indeed, our data have shown that animals fed higher proportions of concentrate were heavier at the end of the trial, had a greater TWG, a greater ADG and were more efficient in converting feed consumed into kg of BW (Table 3).…”
