Abstract

The beef consumption has increased over the years and consequently increases consumers´ concern about quality of meat products, especially in relation to health. Currently composition of fatty acids and on beef and the not favorable consequences that can cause beef consumption were much commented, however benefits that have beef consumption have been little divulged. One of the factors that directly influence the quality of beef is the diet consumed by the animal. Researchers are trying to optimize product quality and optimize efficiency in relation to animal production. Glycerin has been used to achieve this goal in beef cattle production. Being possible add glycerin  in the diet in order to replace corn and reducing cost of production. This paper aims to conduct a literature review of the use of glycerin in the diet of cattle and evaluate the results in relation to fatty acid composition in meat.
