Effects of dietary canola seed and soy lecithin in high-forage diets on cholesterol content and fatty acid composition of carcass tissues of growing ram lambs
Article Abstract:
The influence of unsaturated fatty acids and phospholipids in high-forage diet on total lipid content, cholesterol content, and fatty acid composition in 43 lamb carcasses was determined by assigning the lambs into 4 groups with varied dietary treatments: control, with canola seed (CS), with soy lecithin(SL), and with both conala seed and soy lecithin(CSSL). Lean tissue analysis by gas-liquid chromatography revealed CS fed lambs had reduced total polyunsturated fatty acids (PUFA) while an increase was noted with the SL fed group. With adipose tissue, CS fed lambs showed lower saturated fatty acids and SL group, increasedPUFA. The effects of CSSL feeding was not significant.

Influence of dietary palm oil supplementation on serum lipid metabolites, carcass characteristics, and lipid composition of carcass tissues of growing ram and ewe lambs
Article Abstract:
Results of a study indicated that lambs fed with palm oil (PO) were fatter and had subcutaneous fat with less cholesterol than lambs reared on normal diet. Twenty-eight lambs were included in the 2 X 2 experiment design to determine the effects of supplementation of diet with palm oil (PO) on carcass traits, cholesterol and fatty acid composition and serum metabolites of lambs. Diet and sex of the animal were the two variables under study. Palm-oil supplementation was found to increase level of fatty acids in lean and adipose tissue which may be attributed to increase in palmitic acid.

In vitro effects of the ionophore lysocellin on ruminal fermentation and microbial populations
Article Abstract:
An evaluation of the influence of the ionophore lysocellin on organic matter fermentation was conducted. Ruminants and ruminal populations of microorganisms were conducted using batch and continuous cultures of the organisms. Low lysocellin levels reduced acetate:propionate ratio and methane evolution, but did not affect fiber digestion. On the other hand, higher concentrations reduced fiber digestion. Lactate-producing bacteria were particularly sensitive to lysocellin, but organisms degrading cellulose were able to adapt to the ionophore.
