Vitamin A Content in Various Animal Livers

[Guest guest]

Check out this chart on a website I mentioned earlier:

http://www.serve.com/BatonRouge/nutrition/animal_livers.htm

All the samples appear to be from European livestock - does anyone know what

they are feeding livestock in the various European countries? It made me

think...would *grain*-fed or *grass*-fed livestock have more vitamin A

stored in the liver? I'm inclined to think grass-fed due to the high beta

carotene content in grass. But, not all beta carotene is necessarily

converted to vitamin A. But I can't think of where grain-fed livestock would

get much vit A or its precursors...

Thoughts? Comments?
