| dc.description.abstract | Thin tail lamb is one of local sheep which have potential to producing a good carcass quality. This research aimed to analyze composition of fatty acids and cholesterol content of lamb meat on rations containing Indigofera sp. or bean sprout waste. Thin tail lamb that used as much as 6 heads was aged 5 months with 2 treatments that were the rations contains Indigofera sp. (R1) or bean sprout waste (R2). The variables examined were composition of fatty acids and cholesterol content. The data was analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that treatment did not significantly affect fatty acid composition and cholesterol content. Fatty acid composition of lamb meat were caprylic acid (C8:0) and capric acid (C10:0) were 0.01 ± 0.01%, lauric acid (C12:0) was 0.03 ± 0.06%, myristic acid (C14:0) was 0.16 ± 0.06%, palmitic acid (C16:0) was 1.79 ± 3.05%, stearic acid (C18:0) 0.07 ± 0.21%, oleic acid (C18:1) was 0.71 ± 0.25%, acid linoleic (C18:2) was 0.13 ± 0.04%, linolenic acid (C18:3) was 0.01 ± 0.00%. Cholesterol content of lamb meat in this study was 63.29 ± 25.24 mg 100 g-1. The conclusion of this research is given 30 % of Indigofera sp. or bean sprout waste on the ration did not affect the levels of cholesterol content and fatty acid composition of lamb meat. | en |
