The effects of including rape seed (10%) and fish oil (4%) into the diet for 30 calves (7-90 days of life) on the physical, chemical and sensorial quality of meat were investigated. The analyses encompassed nutrient content in the diet, pH, colour and tenderness measurement, and evaluation of sensorial properties such as texture, tenderness, flavour, tastiness and juiciness. Fat supplementation had no significant effect on the chemical and physical properties of meat. Rape seed did not change the sensorial quality of meat, in contrast to fish oil, which deteriorated the texture, flavour and tastiness of meat.
