Abstract
A novel method for improving the tissue quality of an animal is provided. The method comprises feeding the animal a diet supplemented with gamma-tocopherol in an amount effective to improve the tissue quality. The gamma-tocopherol may be fed alone or in combination with other antioxidants, such as alpha-tocopherol. The method may be practiced on ruminants and non-ruminants.
