Veal is the meat of calves, in contrast to the beef from older cattle. Though veal can be produced from an animal of either sex and any breed, most veal comes from young male beef cattle. Generally, veal is more expensive than beef from older cattle. ==Types== There are several types of veal, with terminology varying by country: *Bob veal, from calves that are slaughtered when only a few weeks old (at most 1 month old) up to 60 lb.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Veal )〕 *Formula-fed ("white" or "milk-fed") veal, from calves that are raised on a milk formula supplement. The meat colour is ivory or creamy pink, with a firm, fine, and velvety appearance. They are usually slaughtered when they reach 18–20 weeks of age, .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Milk-fed veal definition )〕 *Non-formula-fed ("red" or "grain-fed") veal,〔(Grain-Fed definition in Recommended Code of Practice for Raising Farm Animals ) from carc-crac.ca 〕 from calves that are raised on grain, hay, or other solid food, in addition to milk. The meat is darker in colour, and some additional marbling and fat may be apparent. It is usually marketed as calf, rather than veal, at 22–26 weeks of age, . *Rose veal in the UK (generally called ''young beef'' in Europe), is from calves raised on farms in association with the UK Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals' (Freedom Food ) programme. Its name comes from its pink colour, which is a result of the calves being slaughtered at or after 35 weeks (8 months up to 12 months). *Pasture-raised veal *Free-raised veal is from calves raised in the pasture with unlimited access to their mother's milk and pasture grasses. They are not administered hormones or antibiotics. These conditions replicate those of pasture-raised veal. The meat is a rich pink color. Free-raised veal is typically lower in fat than other veal. Calves are slaughtered at about 24 weeks of age. *Special-fed veal is from calves fed a balanced milk- or soy-based diet one fortified with 40 essential nutrients, including essential amino acids, carbohydrates, fats, dietary iron and other dietary minerals and vitamins. As of 2013, the majority of veal calves in the USA are special-fed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Veal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
