| Abstract: | The nutrient content of special fed veal (SFV) was analyzed and compared to previously reported values for veal and beef. Ribeyes of SFV from 8 different U.S. producers were analyzed for moisture, total fat, protein, cholesterol, folacin, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6, B12, vitamin A, pantothenic acid, 16 amino acids and 8 minerals. Special fed veal was found to be similar in nutrient content to reported values for beef and veal with one exception; the Fe content of SFV was 14–25% of reported values for beef. |
