| Research Abstract |
In present study, fattening experiment was conducted in cattle and water buffalo fed same feed during 16 weeks. As a result, plasma cholesterol concentration and cholesterol contents of longissimus muscle and fat around longissimus muscle in water buffalo were lower than in cattle. Feed intake (per metabolic body weight) was not different between cattle and water buffalo, therefore cholesterol intake from feed also could not be different between cattle and water buffalo. Syntheses of cholesterol in body of cattle could be greater than in that of water buffalo. Additionally, unsaturated fatty acids ratio was higher in water buffalo than in cattle.
