title: Influence of animal diet and muscle location on cholesterol content of beef and pork muscles.
abstract: Muscles at three different anatomical locations from carcasses of 12 pigs and 12 steers that were fed diets with varying levels of oleic acid-pigs in the form of canola oil at levels of 0, 10 and 20% and steers in the form of canola rapeseed at levels of 0 and 20%-were analyzed for cholesterol concentrations. The cholesterol level of beef or pork muscles was not significantly affected by the animal diet modification. For each animal species, muscles at different anatomical locations were similar in cholesterol content. Beef and pork muscles were not significantly different in cholesterol content.
