Indeed, animals raised on pasture provide meat with lower lipid content and higher proportions of 18:3 n-3, EPA, DHA and CLA, fatty acids known for their beneficial properties for human health, compared to meat from animals finished with corn silage or concentrate. Grass silage has a slightly lower impact on the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content of bovine muscles than fresh grass. Supplementing grazing cattle with concentrate or finishing them with corn silage or concentrate in a through after a grazing period leads to a higher fat content and a lower n-3 PUFA content in meat than cattle finished on pasture. The antioxidants present in grass protect the n-3 PUFA of meat from oxidation. A 100 g portion of beef (rib eye) contributes relatively little to the total fat and fatty acid intake (less than 6% of the various Recommended Dietary Intakes). The intake of n-3 PUFA from meat from animals finished on pasture is twice as high as from meat from animals finished at the trough.(c) 2022 Societe francaise de nutrition.
