Abstract/OtherAbstract:
To elucidate the effects of dietary vitamin E with or without flaxseed on beef fatty acid composition, 80 feedlot steers were fed 4 diets: Control-E (451IUdl-α-tocopheryl acetate/head/day), Control+E (1051IUdl-α-tocopheryl acetate/head/day), Flax-E (10% ground) and Flax+E. Vitamin E had no effect on animal growth or carcass weight (p>0.05), while flaxseed-fed steers had greater average daily gain (p=0.007), final live weight (p=0.005) and heavier carcasses (p=0.012). Feeding flaxseed increased the total n-3 fatty acid content of beef and this response was further accentuated by the inclusion of high levels of vitamin E in the diet. Feeding flax increased levels of some 18:3n-3 partial hydrogenation products including c15- and t13/14-18:1 and several 18:2 isomers (p<0.001) but decreased t10-18:1 (p<0.001). Vitamin E enhanced intramuscular levels of 18:3n-3 and its biohydrogenation products leading to greater accumulations of total n-3 fatty acids in lean ground beef. The consequences of increasing the concentrations of partially hydrogenated products on human health have yet to be investigated.
