Abstract
The fatty acid composition of lamb can differ with feeding system, breed type, genotype, age of animal, sex and muscle type (Wood and Enser, 1997) but these effects are poorly defined given that most experiments are based on small numbers of animals. This study investigated environmental and genetic variation for the health claimable long chain omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA and docosahexaenoic acid, DHA) content of lamb under Australian management systems.
