In this study, the effects of sun-dried and charcoal-broiled beef compounded diets their vitamin A supplemented versions on ?-carotene levels in rat liver serum were examined. The rats five experimental groups; diet only, growers mash plus A, supplements, supplements. given 0.8 g feed/g average group body weight terms feed for 14 days. supplements administered to by gavage at a dose 400 IU units daily After days, relative only had statistically significant decrease liver, although there was increase serum. Administering led (P < 0.05) compared just corresponding only. results presented here show that regular consumption broiled leads production bioactive metabolites or compounds which reduces
