Abstract

The effects of varying levels of dietary coumestrol in the presence and absence of DES implantation upon the organoleptic quality of lamb were studied. Tenderness and juiciness of lamb were enhanced by increasing levels of dietary coumestrol. Although meat from the DES-implanted lambs receiving a diet containing 114 ppm of coumestrol was rated juicy and the most tender, DES implantation combined with dietary coumestrol intakes of 132 or 151 ppm resulted in decreased tenderness and juiciness scores.
