Abstract
The purpose of the paper was to assess the effect of administering a feed containing flax seeds on the fatty acid composition and cholesterol content in the meat of goat kids and ram lambs. The basic physicochemical properties of the meat were also determined. The analyses showed a significantly higher (p≤0.05) protein content in the goat kids (20.20 g) as compared with the ram lambs (19.50 g). The other chemical composition parameters were similar. The pH1 and pH2 results confirmed correct glycolytic metabolism. The obtained values were 6.39 and 6.27 for the goat kids and ram lambs, respectively. The pH2 value was 5.70 for both groups of animals. The analysed goat kid meat was characterised by better UFA:SFA and PUFA:MUFA ratios. The addition of flax seeds significantly differentiated the CLA (p≤0.01) and cholesterol (p≤0.05) content.
