AN23013Red propolis extract reduces the lipid oxidation of lamb meat
Red propolis extract was offered at increasing levels to feedlot lambs and we observed that the animals’ carcass weight and physico-chemical parameters of the meat were not influenced by these treatments. Furthermore, the inclusion of 7 mL/day of extract in lamb diet was enough to reduce the oxidation of lamb meat, and also improved the lipid profile. We recommend the inclusion of 7 mL/day of red propolis extract in the diet of feedlot lambs.
