Influence of rapeseed meal, whole rapeseed, and soybean meal on fatty acid composition and cholesterol content of muscle and adipose tissue from ram lambs
1991
Twenty-four Suffolk X Hampshire ram lambs (average 46 kg) were assigned to one of three diets containing rapeseed meal (RM), soybean meal (SBM), or whole rapeseed-soybean meal (RSSBM) as the protein source. Diets contained 75% roughage, 14% CP and 2.0 Mcal of ME/kg and lambs were allowed ad libitum access to diets for 35 d. Lipid composition of the longissimus, semimembranosus, and triceps brachii muscles and their corresponding s.c. adipose tissue was determined by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). The total lipid content in either muscle or subcutaneous fat was not different (P > .01) by diet. In lean tissue, palmitic and palmitoleic acids were higher and stearic acid was lower (P < .01) in rams fed RM than in rams fed RSSBM or SBM, regardless of anatomical location. In the s.c. adipose tissue, the amounts of myristoleic, pentadecylic, and palmitoleic acids were lower and the amount of stearic acid was higher (P < .01) in rams fed RSSM than in those fed RM or SBM regardless of anatomical location. The semimembranosus and triceps brachii muscles from all treatments contained 12 to 19% more polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) than the longissimus muscle. The cholesterol content of the three muscles was highest in SBM-fed lambs, lowest in RM-fed lambs, and intermediate in RSSBM-fed lambs. These results demonstrate that dietary treatments of the types used in the present study elicit changes in fatty acid composition of both adipose and muscle tissue without affecting the quantity of total lipid. Decreased amounts of saturated fatty acids represent a favorable change in regard to current human dietary guidelines but increased cholesterol content does not.
