Embodiment Construction
[0011] It has now been found that a diet supplemented with whole algae (eg, Schizochytrium or Nannochloropsis) comprising grass is effective for feeding cattle. This diet allows for the production of grass-fed beef high in omega-3, while addressing two separate consumer needs. It has been found that cattle fed this diet are able to consume more whole algae and thus are comparable to cattle fed using existing methods of increasing omega-3 levels in beef (i.e., fed whole algae under typical feedlot conditions). produce beef products that contain higher levels of omega-3s than cattle). Thus, the application of new grasses and algal diets not only allows the production of grass-fed beef, but the resulting grass-fed beef is superior to existing high omega-3 beef in terms of omega-3 content.
[0012] If the cattle were fed only pasture (which would yield less than about 2% fat on a 17-25 lb dry matter basis), the cattle would be able to consume more algae along with the pasture and...
