Impact of maternal protein restriction on meat quality and fatty acid profile of progeny

An abstract of a study by Webb et al evaluating the impact of metabolizable protein (MP) restriction in mid- and late-gestation on meat quality and fatty acid profile of progeny is presented. No differences (P > 0.05) in percent monounsaturated or saturated fatty acid were observed. Differences i...

Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Webb et al evaluating the impact of metabolizable protein (MP) restriction in mid- and late-gestation on meat quality and fatty acid profile of progeny is presented. No differences (P > 0.05) in percent monounsaturated or saturated fatty acid were observed. Differences in tenderness and fatty acid profiles indicate MP restriction during mid- and late-gestation may influence progeny meat characteristics.
