The feed value of sesame meal, a main agricultural by-product from the northern area of Gyeongsangbuk-do province, was assessed in Hanwoo steers. A total of twelve Hanwoo steers(average BW=412.08kg) were allocated into a Control(fed no sesame meal) or Treatment (fed sesame meal from 14.6 months of age) group, considering BW and ages, and the animals were fed for a total of 480 days. The final BW, total gain and ADG for the Control and Treatment groups were 741.17kg and 762.67 kg, 331.84kg and 347.84kg, and 0.69kg and 0.72kg, respectively, showing better performances in sesame meal-fed animals. Feed requirements during the whole experimental period improved by feeding sesame meal(15.31 and 14.87 for Control and Treatment group, respectively). Hanwoo steers fed sesame meal also showed a 22.83kg heavier cold carcass weight(424.17kg and 447.00kg in the Control and Treatment group, respectively), and 2.41% improved dressing percentages(58.60% and 57.22% for the Control and Treatment group, respectively). The area of the M. longissimus dorsi was 91.83cm2 and 88.33cm2 in the Control and Treatment group, respectively. The final yield of A and B grade meat were 50:50% and 33.3:66.7% from the Control and Treatment group, respectively. The average marbling score was 4.83 and 5.50, and the numeric values for quality grade was 2.17 and 2.67 for the Control and Treatment group, respectively, showing better beef quality in sesame meal-fed Hanwoo steers. In fact, there were two animals with beef quality 1++ in the sesame meal-fed group. The melting point of lipid extracted from the M. longissimus dorsi of Hanwoo steers was significantly(p<0.05) lower in the Treatment group(28.28℃) compared to the Control group(30.65℃). The composition of saturated fatty acids, C14:0(myristic acid) and C16:0(palmitic acid), were significantly lower in sesame meal-fed animals, 4.70% and 2.20% for myristic acid, and 30.55% and 27.12% for palmitic acid, in the Control and Treatment group, respectively. In contrast, there were no significant differences in C18:0(stearic acid) composition between the groups. The composition of a representative unsaturated fatty acid, C18:1(oleic acid), was significantly higher in Treatment animals(49.89%) than Control animals(44.29%)(p<0.05). The ratio of total monounsaturated fatty acids/saturated fatty acids; M/S) was 1.10 and 1.36 for the Control and Treatment groups, respectively, showing remarkably higher ratios in sesame meal-fed group. The content of glutamic acid, related to beef flavor, was significantly higher in the Treatment group(3.35mg/100g) compared to the Control group(1.88mg/100g) (p<0.05). The tenderness score, evaluated by an eight-point scale in the panel test, and overall palatability(based on juiciness, flavor, oiliness, and umami) were significantly higher in the Treatment group(5.67 and 5.23, respectively) than the Control group(3.83 and 4.60, respectively)(p<0.05). In conclusion, the current results imply that sesame meal could serve as a good supplement for Hanwoo steers for producing high quality beef.
