A–B Least square means with different letters within the same day of storage time were significantly different (p < 0.05); a–d Least square means with different letters within the same treatments were significantly different (p < 0.05); SE: standard errors; AER: anthocyanin extracted residue; LD: Longissimus dorsi; TMR: total mixed ration.
