Abstract
This paper determined the impact of gender and feeding intensity on the profile of fatty acids in different types of fat deposits. The studies were conducted with 20 young bulls and 20 steers, which were Polish Holstein-Friesian and Hereford crossbreds fattened intensively – grass silage ad libitum and concentrate covered 50% of the net energy requirement in fattened cattle or semi-intensively – concentrate covered 30% of the net energy. The fatty acid profile in intramuscular, intermuscular, external and internal fat was determined. The content of intramuscular fat was lower (P < 0.001) in the longissimus muscle in the bulls (1.74%) than in the steers (3.71%). In fat of steers, the proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids was higher whereas in fat of bulls, the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids was higher. Generally the impact of the location of fat depots on the profile of fatty acids was statistically significant (P < 0.001) but there was no effect of feeding intensity.
Additional keywords: beef, gender, intensity of feeding, site of fat depots.
