Figure 4. Changes in specific fatty acids, as affected
by breed-type. A) There was a significant (P < .001)
breed-type ´ sampling period interaction for 16:0; s.c.
adipose tissue from BH calves exhibited a more rapid
decline in 16:0 than did adipose tissue from the other
breed-types. B) Percentages of 18:0 plus 18:1 were lower
in BB and HB calves at weaning, but increased more
rapidly postweaning (P < .05), than in BH and HH
calves. Pooled mean square error bars (SEM) are affixed
to the data points for the BB steers. Breed-type
abbreviations as in Figure 1.
