Meat Fatty Acid Composition of Wild Boars Hunted in Romania in Relationship to Gender and Age-Class

Abstract: The present study evaluates the influence of gender and age-class on the carcass traits, meat chemical composition, and fatty acid profiles of randomly hunt-harvested wild boars from Romania’s Frasin District hunting area, which is an important part of the stock density management strategy. Only 76 wild boars were chosen to participate in the experimental design from a total of 94 wild boars hunted over seven winter seasons, based on two main criteria: right carcass part intact and animal health status (suitab… Show more

“…PUFA ranged from 8.76 in PO to 20.68 in WB, and C18:2 omega 6 (n-6) was the most prevalent in terms of amount (accounting for up to 78% of all PUFA in WB). The fatty acid composition of the samples, both pork meat and WB meat, was in accordance with the results of other studies (Pedrazzoli et al ., 2017 ; Ciobanu et al , 2022 ), where C18:1 n-9 (oleic) was the most abundant fatty acid, followed by C16:0, C18:0, and C18:2 n-6. The same decreasing order of concentration was found in pork as well as WB meat submitted to different feeding regimes (natural feed, supplementary feed, complete diet), age, or gender (Högberg et al , 2002 ; Pedrazzoli et al , 2017 ; Ciobanu et al , 2022 ; Reitznerová et al , 2023 ).…”

“…This is probably due to their higher capacity for accumulating fat (Renaudeau and Mourot, 2007 ), although it could also be influenced by the feed and the growing system (Edwards, 2005 ). The results of the lipid content of WB are similar to those of the literature confirming the low fat content of hunted game meat (Viganò et al ., 2019 ), which is influenced mainly by the season and food availability (Ciobanu et al , 2022 ).…”
