Nonionophore antibiotics do not affect the trans-18:1 and conjugated linoleic acid composition in beef adipose tissue

Abstract

The common practice in North American feedlot industries is to add antibiotics to the diet to prevent disease and improve both BW gain and feed efficiency. In this study, 240 crossbred steer calves were backgrounded on a 54% silage diet for 80 d and fed a finishing diet consisting of 81% barley grain, 10% barley silage, and 7.5% supplement (DM basis) with and without in-feed antibiotics for approximately 120 d. Calves were assigned to 1 of 5 treatments: a control with no antibiotics, 11 mg/kg of chlortetracycline, 44 mg/kg of chlortetracycline, 44 mg/kg of chlortetracycline plus 44 mg/kg of sulfamethazine, and 11 mg/ kg of tylosin phosphate. A combination of GLC and silver-ion HPLC methods was used to analyze the fatty acid composition of brisket adipose tissue, with emphasis on trans-18:1 and CLA isomers. The inclusion of nonionophore antibiotics in the diet had little effect on the fatty acid composition, except that feeding either 44 mg/kg of chlortetracycline or 11 mg/kg of tylosin caused small increases in 9c-14:1 and 16:0 relative to the control (0.26 and 0.9 g/100 g of total fatty acids, respectively). Likewise, profiles of trans-18:1 and CLA isomers were unchanged by antibiotics, but across treatments the predominant tr...Continue Reading
