Abstract
Our study investigated how different levels of antioxidants and contrasting proportions of native legumes in the diet affect lamb meat quality. Twenty-four male Texel lambs were randomly assigned to three groups: two groups on a natural pasture in southern Brazil (Pampa Biome), each at a different proportion of legumes: Low-legume (LL, 4.37%) and High-legume (HL, 14.01%); the other group was stall-fed (Control) to achieve the same growth rates as the grazing groups. Cold carcass yield from the Control lambs was higher than HL. The meat from pasture-fed animals had a higher deposition of muscle α-tocopherol and lower lipid oxidation (TBARS values) after 9 days of storage. LL lambs had higher subcutaneous fat thickness, which promoted better sensory quality of the meat, as assessed by a trained panel. Pasture-based diets enhanced odd- and branched-chain fatty acids (OBCFAs), trans vaccenic acid, and total conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs), while decreasing elaidic acid. Despite the lower ∆9-desaturase activity, the higher proportion of Desmodium incanum (condensed tannin-rich native legume) in the HL diet did not impact meat nutritional quality. Finishing lambs on the Pampa Biome grasslands is an option for improving the oxidative stability and beneficial fatty acid content of lamb meat, which improves product quality and human consumer health.

Methane emissions and 13C composition from beef steers consuming binary C3-C4 diets. J Anim Sci 2023; 101:skad181.

Abstract
Improvements in forage nutritive value can reduce methane emission intensity in grazing ruminants. This study was designed to evaluate how the legume rhizoma peanut (Arachis glabrata; RP) inclusion into bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum) hay diets would affect intake and CH4 production in beef steers. We also assessed the potential to estimate the proportion of RP contribution to CH4 emissions using δ13C from enteric CH4. Twenty-five Angus-crossbred steers were randomly allocated to one of five treatments (five steers per treatment blocked by bodyweight): 1) 100% bahiagrass hay (0%RP); 2) 25% RP hay + 75% bahiagrass hay (25%RP); 3) 50% RP hay + 50% bahiagrass hay (50%RP); 4) 75% RP hay + 25% bahiagrass hay (75%RP); 5) 100% RP hay (100%RP). The study was laid out using a randomized complete block design, and the statistical model included fixed effect of treatment, and random effect of block. Methane emissions were collected using sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) technique, and apparent total tract digestibility was estimated utilizing indigestible neutral detergent fiber as an internal marker. A two-pool mixing model was used to predict diet source utilizing CH4 δ13C. Inclusion of RP did not affect intake or CH4 production (P > 0.05). Methane production per animal averaged 250 g CH4/d and 33 g CH4/kg dry matter intake, across treatments. The CH4 δ13C were -55.5, -60.3, -63.25, -63.35, and -68.7 for 0%RP, 25%RP, 50%RP, 75%RP, and 100%RP, respectively, falling within the reported ranges for C3 or C4 forage diets. Moreover, there was a quadratic effect (P = 0.04) on the CH4 δ13C, becoming more depleted (e.g., more negative) as the diet proportion of RP hay increased, appearing to plateau at 75%RP. Regression between predicted and observed proportions of RP in bahiagrass hay diets based on δ13C from CH4 indicate δ13C to be useful (Adj. R2 = 0.89) for predicting the contribution of RP in C3-C4 binary diets. Data from this study indicate that, while CH4 production may not always be reduced with legume inclusion into C4 hay diets, the δ13C technique is indeed useful for tracking the effect of dietary sources on CH4 emissions.

Methane emissions and δ13C composition from beef steers consuming increasing proportions of sericea lespedeza hay on bermudagrass hay diets. J Anim Sci 2021; 99:6333282.

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different proportions of 'Au Grazer' sericea lespedeza [SL, Lespedeza cuneata (Dum. Cours.) G. Don], a legume rich in condensed tannins (CT), on nutrient intake and digestibility, and to estimate methane (CH4) emissions and 13C isotopic composition (δ13CCH4) from beef steers consuming a forage-based diet. Twenty-five Angus-crossbred steers were distributed in a randomized complete block design (344 ± 48 kg initial BW), and randomly assigned to one of five treatments: 0SL, 25SL, 50SL, 75SL, and 100SL, diets containing 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of SL hay, respectively, mixed with 'Tifton-85' bermudagrass hay (Cynodon spp.). The study was carried out for two experimental periods of 21-d each. The statistical model included the fixed effect of treatment and random effects of block, experimental period, and their interaction. Apparent total tract digestibility of crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber was linearly decreased (P < 0.001) by the inclusion of SL. No effects were observed for total CH4 emissions per day, nor for CH4 relative to organic matter intake or digestible organic matter with the inclusion of SL. However, emission of CH4 in relation to intake of CT was affected by treatment (P < 0.001). A linear (P < 0.001) decrease and a quadratic effect (P < 0.001) were observed for δ13C of diets and gas, respectively, in which diets and enteric CH4 with greater inclusion of SL were more depleted in 13C. Moreover, the difference in δ13C between diets and gas (Δδ13C) had a linear decrease (P = 0.001) with the inclusion of SL. The model developed to predict the C3 proportions in the enteric CH4 fitted to predicted values (P < 0.0001). Therefore, greater proportions of SL resulted in lesser CH4 emission when CT intake was considered and the isotopic composition from enteric CH4 was able to predict the contribution of SL in the emissions.
