Longissimus dorsi (LD) and m. Serratus ventralis (SV) from Iberian pigs reared under these Montanera seasons. Acorn and grass composition was affected by Montanera season and consequently, LD and SV muscles showed different contents of α-tocopherol, total phenols, hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidant activity and fatty acid profile, according with the composition of acorns and grass ingested. Results suggest a lack of uniformity in meat quality between different seasons. This could be due to the variable nature of extensive pig production as reflected in the variability in the composition of the diet (acorns and grass).</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21924560</style></accession-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bugalho, Miguel N.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milne, John a</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The composition of the diet of red deer (Cervus elaphus) in a Mediterranean environment: a case of summer nutritional constraint?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Forest Ecology and Management</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">browse</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cervus elaphus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">diet composition</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0378112703001257</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">181</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23 - 29</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The composition of the diet of red deer (Cervus elaphus) in a Mediterranean environment, in southern Portugal, was estimated during summer 1995–1997 using n-alkane analysis.

In this study the hypothesis is tested that, if browse is an essential food resource at this time, the sex with the larger body size may have a greater physical ability to reach the tree canopy and include a higher proportion of browse in its diet. The organic matter digestibility (OMD) and composition of the diet of a population of red deer males and females were measured between July and September, in 1996 and 1997, in an area of Portugal with a Mediterranean type of climate, using the n-alkane technique. Direct observations of animals browsing on tree canopies and shrubs were made also during the same period. The OMD of the diet was signi®cantly different between sexes and between years and was higher in males than females both in 1996 (means  sem for males and females, 0.65 and 0.58  0.026, respectively) and 1997 (means for males and females, 0.59 and 0.48  0.045, respectively). The proportion of cork oak Quercus suber in the diet was also signi®cantly different between sexes and between years, with males having a higher proportion of cork oak in their diets in 1996 (males and females, 0.30 and 0.16  0.037, respectively) and 1997 (males and females, 0.41 and 0.23  0.064, respectively). A signi®cantly lower proportion of the herbage layer was found in the diet of males in 1996 (males and females, 0.46 and 0.64  0.048) but not in 1997.
