The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of Cr as chromium propionate (CrProp) on growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality, and the fatty acid profile of fat from pigs fed no supplemented dietary fat, choice white grease (CWG), or tallow. An experiment was conducted with 108 crossbred Yorkshire gilts assigned in a randomized complete block design based on BW (average i...

A 111-d finishing study evaluated animal growth and carcass characteristics using 138 steers (366 kg) in a randomized complete block design with a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement of treatments. The dietary treatments consisted of no supplemental fat or 3.5% tallow or soybean oil soapstock (SS) fed with .6% and .9% dietary Ca. Fat increased DMI (P less than .05) but interacted with Ca level (P less ...

Dietary linseed supply efficiently elevates the linolenic acid concentration of pork. The main problem of increasing the n-3 fatty acid tissue levels arises from a higher susceptibility to lipid oxidation. Increasing the saturation level of tissue lipids by the dietary inclusion of conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) or tallow might prevent oxidation. Thus, the aim of the study was to evaluate the ...

Biodiesel is one of the more recent green fuel products in world. It can be produced from several raw materials such as straight vegetable oils, animal fats, tallow, and waste cooking blended with diesel. Properties biodiesel are different compared to fossil diesel terms production methods emission levels released after combustion an internal engine. Kuwait consumes a huge amount energy which a...

Tallow is a less economical and underutilized animal's fat. In fact, tallow comprises triglycerides from several fatty acids which support skin protection by increasing moisture preventing dryness. The use of in soap manufacturing will gain its interest enhance value added. this study, solid soaps are prepared using as raw materials adding kefir curd goat milk. This study analyzed the physicoch...

The effects of diets high in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA; provided by fish oil), n-6 PUFA (sunflower oil) or in more-saturated fatty acids (tallow) on the distribution of subclasses of choline phospholipids (PC) and ethanolamine phospholipids (PE) from the breast muscle of broiler chickens were examined. Supplementation with the different fatty acids had no effect on the distribution ...

This study evaluated the combined effects of dietary CLA and supplemental fat (SF) source on organoleptic characteristics of bacon and pork loin samples in lean-genotype gilts (n = 144). Gilts (49.3 kg of BW) were randomly assigned to a 3 x 2 factorial design, consisting of SF [0% SF, 4% yellow grease (YG), or 4% tallow] and linoleic acid (LA; 1% corn oil or 1% CLA). Animals were slaughtered (1...

Effects of supplementing growing steers consuming forage-based diets with high levels of partially hydrogenated tallow on feed intake, digestibility, live weight gain, and carcass characteristics were determined in this study. In Exp. 1, Holstein steer calves were fed bermudagrass hay alone (Control) and with a ground corn-based concentrate at .95% BW (DM basis) plus partially hydrogenated tall...

The effect of dietary lipids on the toxicity of methylmercury (MeHg) was investigated in experimental MeHg poisoning of rats. Three groups of weanling rats, with 8 to 12 animals in each group, were fed on vitamin E-deficient diet containing 10% beef tallow, cod liver oil or corn oil respectively for 5 weeks and the amount of plasma TBA (Thiobarbituric acid) -reactants, expired ethane and pentan...

The effects on energy balance and brown adipose tissue thermogenesis of feeding high fat diets of differing fatty acid composition have been investigated in lean and genetically obese (ob/ob) mice. Groups of mice were fed either a low fat diet or a high fat diet based on corn oil or beef tallow for 2 wk. Energy intake and body weight gain were higher in both lean and obese animals fed the high ...
