title = "Effect of a grass-based and a concentrate feeding system on meat quality characteristics and fatty acid composition of longissimus muscle in different cattle breeds",
abstract = "The objective of this study was to examine the effects of feeding system and breed on the content of the beneficial n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) in beef muscle. German Simmental (GS) (n=31) and German Holstein (GH) (n=33) bulls were produced on either an indoor concentrate system or a grass-based system consisting of a period of summer pasture feeding followed by a winter indoor period on grass silage and a concentrate containing linseed. All animals were slaughtered at 620 kg. The grass-based system increased (P",
