In conclusion, the present study
demonstrates that feeding rumen-protected CLA during
the early growing period changes tissue fatty acid
composition but does not influence beef quality variables.
Performance variables and carcass traits in young
heifers, unlike in pigs and laboratory animals, are not
influenced by CLA feeding.
