Diets were evaluated at two concentrate levels (CLs). The CL did not affect cold carcass weight (CCW; P = 0.6074), cold carcass dressing (CCD; P = 0.9636), rib fat thickness (RFT; P = 0.8696) and longissimus muscle area (LMA; P = 0.7524). Animals fed diets with CGc or CGsh showed meat with greater deposition of monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA; P = 0.0022) and CLA (18:2 cis-9, trans-11) contents (P = 0.0001) than animals fed diets without CG. The inclusion of 10% of CG in diets CGc or CGsh does not affect the carcass and meat quality traits; however, it increases the MUFA and CIA contents in beef, although these changes are very small in nutritional terms.
