Growing and mature steers with increased linoleic acid (18∶2) in their adipose tissues were reared by the Nutrition Institute, U.S. Department of Agriculture. The 18∶2 content of rendered fats from these animals fed protected safflower oil varied from 6.5–20.6% and from 3.4–5.8% for the growing and mature steers, respectively. Increasing the 18∶2 levels resulted in decreased stability to autoxidation of the rendered subcutaneous fats.
