Abstract

Breed differences in plasma lipid levels were previously reported for cattle grazing near Rockhampton, Qld. The present study investigated the blood lipids of British� and Zebu� type cattle subjected to the same dietary treatments. On high-quality diets only plasma non�esterified fatty acid concentrations were significantly affected (P < 0�01) by level of intake. Plasma total cholesterol, phospholipid, and triglyceride levels were depressed by a low-quality diet which elevated the free: total cholesterol ratio.
