Abstract

The Jersey breed of cattle is known to mature and deposit intramuscular fat earlier than the Limousin. For selection purposes, it is important to determine if the fatty acid compositions of their intramuscular and adipose tissues also differ. Siebert et al. (1996) showed that a wide variation existed in the fatty acid composition of tissues from Jersey and European crossbred cattle. The main objective of this study was to determine if this was apparent in purebred animals and to compare the fatty acid compositions of their total lipid, phospholipid and triacylglyceride components.
