CARCASS COMPOSITION OF GROWING BULLS OF D IFFERENT ADAPTED BREEDS FEDRESTRICTIVELY

On 8 growing bulls each of the breeds Galloway (Ga) and Black-White Da iry Cattle (BWDC) fed restrictively equal rations with high crude fibr e content and daily gains of 216 g (Ga) and 188 g (BWDC) during 8 expe rimental months significant differences of the carcass composition, dr y matter and fat content of the round beef, the fatty acid content of C18:3, C16, C17, C18:2 of subcutaneus fat, saturated and unsaturated f atty acids of the intramuscular fat of the m. longissimus dorsi the di ameters of the white, intermediary and red muscle fibres of the m. sem itendinosus were measured.
