A method for increasing omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid content in beef for human consumption which comprises feeding to cattle, without suppressing the remainder of feed intake of said cattle and without reducing daily gain of said cattle measured by pounds of body weight per day, an effective amount for increasing the level of omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid content in the beef of an algae having a high level of Omega-3 fatty acids and a cell wall that is not digestible in the rumen of cattle.
A method for increasing omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid content in beef for human consumption, consisting essentially of feeding to cattle, without suppressing the remainder of feed intake of said cattle and without reducing daily gain of said cattle measured by pounds of body weight per day, an effective amount for increasing omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid content in the beef of a Schizochytrium;
- corn;
- and at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of soy, alfalfa, straw and wet grain distillers.
A method for increasing omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid content in beef for human consumption which comprises feeding to cattle, without suppressing the remainder of the feed intake of said cattle and without reducing daily gain of said cattle measured by pounds of body weight per day, an effective amount for increasing the level of omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid content in the beef of an algae having a high level of Omega-3 fatty acids and a cell wall that is not digestible in the rumen of cattle, and at least one member selected from the group consisting of corn, wheat and barley.
A method for increasing omega-3 unsaturated fatty acid content in beef for human consumption which comprises feeding to a beef animal, without suppressing the remainder of the feed intake of said animal measured by pounds of body weight per day, an effective amount for increasing the level of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acid content in the beef of the animal an algae having a high level of Omega-3 fatty acids and a cell wall that is not digestible in the rumen of cattle, and at least one of corn, wheat and barley.
