Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid composition, including conjugated linoleic acid, of intramuscular fat from steers offered grazed grass, grass silage, or concentrate-based diets.
P. French,Catherine Stanton,F Lawless,Edward G. O'Riordan,Frank J. Monahan,P. J. Caffrey,Aidan P. Moloney +6 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that i.m. fatty acid composition of beef can be improved from a human health perspective by inclusion of grass in the diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
The eating quality of meat of steers fed grass and/or concentrates
P. French,Edward G. O'Riordan,Frank J. Monahan,P. J. Caffrey,M. T. Mooney,Declan J. Troy,Aidan P. Moloney +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that high carcass growth can be achieved on a grass-based diet without a deleterious effect on meat quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forage Legumes for Grazing and Conserving in Ruminant Production Systems
P. Phelan,Aidan P. Moloney,E. J. McGeough,J. Humphreys,J. Bertilsson,Edward G. O'Riordan,Padraig O'Kiely +6 more
TL;DR: Despite the numerous benefits of forage legumes for ruminant farming (to the farmer and wider society), their use is reported as being low or declining relative to other forages in many regions because their disadvantages are perceived to outweigh their advantages at farm level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid composition of intra-muscular triacylglycerols of steers fed autumn grass and concentrates
TL;DR: The impact of increasing the rate of carcass growth of steers grazing autumn grass by either supplementing with concentrates or by increasing grass supply on fatty acid composition of triacylglycerols within the M. longissmus thoracis was determined.
Journal Article
Effects of transporting bulls at different space allowances on physiological, haematological and immunological responses to a 12-h journey by road
TL;DR: There was no welfare advantage in transporting bulls at 1.27 m 2 versus the standard spatial allowance of 0.85 m 2 on a 12-h road journey, and the effects of space allowance during transportation on physiological, haematological and immunological responses in nine-month old bulls were assessed.
