Abstract
⺠Crossbreeding B. taurus and B. indicus benefits meat quality and fatty acid profiles. ⺠Heterosis improves meat tenderness in pasture- but not in grain-finishing. ⺠In grain-finishing, heterosis improves meat leanness and fatty acid profiles. ⺠Estimated activity of Î9 desaturase in crossbreds is closer to indicus than to taurus.
