Short summary
The fatty acid (FA) composition of cattle is correlated with cardiovascular diseases in humans. These FAs come from ruminal biohydrogenation; however, this process also produces FAs that can provide benefits to human health. Sex and diet can affect the FA profile of the meat. The meat FAs of cattle in feedlot systems are different due to diet differences. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sex on the FA profile and meat quality of feedlot cattle fed a whole shelled corn diet.
