Abstract EN
The effects of dietary extruded linseed (EL) on growth performance, meat quality, and lipid profile of Semimembranosus and Longissimus lumborum muscles of 81 Sarda lambs were studied in a 3 × 3 design: EL content (0%, 10%, and 20%) of maternal dietary concentrate fed from 20 d to parturition to 60 d of lactation and EL content (0%, 10%, 20%) of lamb concentrate fed after weaning for 30 d.
The basal diet was composed of alfalfa and meadow hay during pregnancy and alfalfa hay during lactation.
At slaughter, carcass and meat quality were evaluated.
Sensory quality of Semimembranosus from 0% and 20% EL lambs was assessed.
Both maternal and postweaning diets affected growth performance, with higher body weights recorded with the 10% EL concentrate.
Carcass and meat quality were not affected by diet.
Saturated and monounsaturated FA decreased and n-3 polyunsaturated FA increased with increasing EL content in lamb diet.
An increase in vaccenic and rumenic acid was associated with the EL content of the maternal diet.
Both diets increased the n-6/n-3 FA ratio.
No differences in acceptability were detected by consumers among groups.
It is concluded that EL supplementation and early life nutrition can influence performance and FA metabolism in growing lambs.
