Galloway Friends: The University of Alberta reported last month: In a series of studies lead by Dr. Erasmus Okine of the University of Alberta, researchers showed that feeding modified diets to increase conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in beef cattle resulted in carcasses with higher levels of desirable marbling fat and lower levels of undesirable backfat.
