Summary

Systematic review synthesising evidence on A comprehensive analysis of beef fatty acids, their origin and influencing factors (Global (Canada-led meta-analysis) scope). Summarises reported outcomes and key measures (Meta-analytic estimates of beef fatty acid classes under different feeding and management systems; measures: n-3 and n-6 PUFA, SFA, MUFA, CLA, intramuscular fat…

UK applicability

Although based largely on North American and international data, mechanisms are generic and applicable to UK grass-fed vs grain-finished beef systems. Supports using production system as a lever to improve fatty acid profiles.

Key measures

n-3 and n-6 PUFA, SFA, MUFA, CLA, intramuscular fat content and diet composition variables
