Effect of dietary linseed and rapeseed supplementation on fatty acid profiles in the ostrich. Part 1. Muscles
Journal Title: Animal Science Papers and Reports - Year 2013, Vol 31, Issue 3
Abstract
Forty ostriches were raised in five groups [control (C) or with 4% (L4) or 8% (L8) linseed, or 5% (R5) or 10% (R10) rapeseed in the diet]. Linseed supplementation (L4 and L8) improved the nutritive value of the ostrich meat by increasing (P<0.001) the α-linolenic acid content (>4.2%FAtotal) and PUFA/SFA ratio (>1.0) as compared with the control group (1.7% FAtotal and <0.94, α-linolenic acid and PUFA/SFA, respectively), whereas the effect of rapeseed was lower (2.2%, and <0.99, α- linolenic acid and PUFA/SFA, respectively). Dietary treatment lowered (P<0.001) the n-6/n-3 ratio from ca. 11 in the C group to 4 in the L8 and L4 groups. Overall, the results indicate that inclusion of linseed into ostrich diets has a positive effect on the fatty acid composition, allowing the production of meat enriched with n-3 fatty acids.

β-lactoglobulin genetic variants in Serbian Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle and their association with yield and quality of milk
In 765 Holstein-Friesian cows, the following ratios of β-lactoglobulin genotypes were found: 0.23 AA, 0.58 AB and 0.19 BB. The cows of AA genotype yielded more milk and milk fat than cows of genotype AB and BB. Cows with...

Polymorphism in coding and regulatory sequences of beta-casein gene is associated with milk production traits in Holstein-Friesian cattle
Beta-casein gene (CSN2) is considered a marker of milk production traits in dairy cattle. Allele A2, the most common in Holstein-Friesian breed, is beneficial for milk protein yield. However, within CSN2 other mutations...
