The effects of individual and combined feeding of high monosodium phosphate and alpha tocopherol supplemented milk replacer diets and an alternate protein diet on muscle color, composition and cholesterol content of veal.

The purpose was to investigate the effects of feeding MP and VITE individually or in combination on myoglobin content and veal muscle color, serum, liver and muscle mineral content and veal muscle color, the relationship between serum total Fe, iron-binding capacity and degree of transferring saturation on myoglobin and muscle color, the effect of MP and VITE feeding on serum, liver, muscle and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and the effect of feeding AP diet to calves on palatability and color of the veal
