Abstract
The effect of different feeding systems (extensive on pasture and inte nsive penned) on fatty acid composition of lamb muscle in relation to final product quality was investigated in three feeding trials. Lambs feeding on grass the muscle fat contained more n-3 fatty acids in comp arison to penned sheep. The relative quantities of C18:3; C20:5 and C2 2:6 were markedly higher in grass finished lambs.
