Carcass and meat quality characteristics from Iberian wild red deer (Cervus elaphus) hunted at different ages

Abstract: BACKGROUND Deer‐meat consumption is increasing in several countries based on claims that it is a healthy red meat. This study assessed the effect of slaughter age (low – 26 months and younger; medium – from 27 months to younger than 42 months; and high – 42 months and older) on carcass characteristics and meat physicochemical properties of 150 Iberian wild red deer. RESULTS Whole carcass yields of neck, backbone and flank increased (P < 0.001) with age, while yields of shoulder, tenderloin and leg decreased (P… Show more

“…For the present study, we used forty loins from male wild red deer (60.2 AE 6.8 kg of skinned carcass weight) of Iberian genetic line (Cervus elaphus) hunted in Spain in two different months. Carcass were managed as reported by Maggiolino et al (2019), and from each carcass, the left longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) muscle was dissected, vacuum packed and transported in refrigerated conditions for dry-cured loin manufacture.…”

“…The pH was determined using a digital pH meter (Hanna Instruments, Eibar, Spain), equipped with a penetration glass probe. Chemical composition (moisture, fat, protein, and ash content) was assessed as described by Maggiolino et al 23 Briefly, the moisture percentage was calculated by weight loss of the sample maintained in an oven (Memmert UFP 600, Schwabach, Germany) at 105°C until constant weight. Protein content was determined using the Kjeldahl total nitrogen method, multiplying the total nitrogen content by 6.25.…”

“…Additionally, the consumption of both fresh meat and traditional meat products elaborated with game meat has increased [ 1 ]. It is due to their particular taste and excellent nutritional characteristics (low fat and cholesterol contents and high amounts of other essential nutrients) [ 2 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Additionally, taking into account health aspects, it also has high amount of PUFA (39–50 g/100 g fatty acids) [ 8 ] and long-chain n-3 fatty acids [ 2 , 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”
