The results showed that A bulls had the highest intramuscular fat (IM) level (3.76), particularly in PM (4.74), followed by HG (3.40), crossbred HG (3.05), CH (2.33), HS (2.21), with the lowest level for H (2.11) bulls.

The n-6 fatty acids were affected either by breed, or by muscle type. The linoleic acid was the highest in muscle samples of Holstein bulls except for PM, while the lowest was in A bulls in all cases. The same tendency can be seen in all cases for long chain n-6 fatty acids. The overall mean of n-3 fatty acids varied among genotypes from 1.36 to 1.80%. The highest level was measured in ST of CH and H (2.19), whereas the lowest one in LD of HG (1.22). Significant differences among genotypes were shown only for PM. The level of n-3 series long chain fatty acids was the highest for ST, for LD and PM in H, CH and HS, respectively. The ratio of n-6/n-3 ranged from 4.48 to 6.22 and was significantly less favorable in H than in A bulls. The highest CLA level was detected in all cases in HG bulls.展开更多
