title: Effect of breeding bull on the fatty acid composition of the carcass lipid in steers of a beef breed cattle.
abstract: Samples of neutral lipid were taken from the carcasses of forty-eight Japanese Black steers, the progeny from three breeding bulls, on similar planes of nutrition and of the same age, and were analysed for fatty acid composition. The breeding bull seems to significantly affect the fatty acid composition of the lipid from the thoracic subcutaneous fatty tissue and the inter- and intra-muscular fatty tissues of the Longissimus dorsi muscle. No significant correlation between breeding bull and fatty acid composition of perinephric fatty tissue was found. There was an increase in total concentration of unsaturated fatty acids from internal to external sample locations.
