Linseed-based diets for sheep. 2. Performance
and chemical composition of meat and liver

The effects of dietary linseed cultivars, traditional (Opal, Omega) or the new Linola cultivar with an increased content of linoleic acid, on the performance and chemical composition of lamb meat and liver were investigated. The animals were fed meadow hay and concentrate. The control group received no linseed in concentrate, whereas the experimental groups received 10% crushed linseed of different cultivars. There was no significant effect of linseed, irrespective of cultivar, on daily weight gains of the lambs, feed conversion, dressing percentage and chemical composition of leg muscle and liver. However, significant (P < 0.05) changes were shown in the fatty acid profile of meat and liver.
