Postweaning Exposure to High Concentrates versus Forages Alters Marbling Deposition and Lipid Metabolism in Steers

Angus-cross steers (n = 20; 261 ± 21.5 kg BW) were used to examine how early exposure to high concentrates or high quality forages altered marbling deposition and lipid metabolism. Steers were randomly assigned to high concentrate diet (CONC) or high quality forages (FOR) at 30-d postweaning, fed fo...
