Popis: Effect of feeding Ca-soap and formaldehyde-treated full-fat soybean (FFS) on growth, carcass traits and fatty acid profile of thirty male finisher (3 months) lambs of native Malpura breed was evaluated. Lambs were equally divided into two groups and fed on two isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets, one with Ca-soap 6 percent (T1) and the other with equivalent fat added through FFS (T2). Lambs were slaughtered at 6 months of age. Carcass traits and proximate composition were comparable in both the dietary groups. There were increased C16:0 and C18:1n9t fatty acids in Ca-soap-incorporated diet, whereas C15:1, C18:2n6c and C18:3n3 fatty acids were higher in FFS-supplemented diet. The fatty acid profile of Longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle revealed higher (P
