“…Winkelmayer et al (2004) reported pH in roe deer venison (m. longissimus) in dependence on the season of the year from 5.66 (spring) to 5.58 (autumn). Evaluating the effect of sex on the quality of roe deer venison, Daszkiewicz et al (2012) found that pH ult in m. longissimus in males and females was 5.47 and 5.48, respectively. In our study, pH values were found within the above range, …”

“…According to Hoffman et al (2005), dark colour of venison is due to its low content of connective and adipose tissues. Daszkiewicz et al (2012) focused on colour variables in m. longissimus dorsi from female roe deer 54 h post mortem and found the following values: L* (lightness) = 32.61, a* (redness) = 14.97, b* (yellowness) = 10.70, C* (chroma) = 18.43 and h° (hue) = 35.44. The values obtained in our study were higher for L*, b* and h° variables, but lower for a* and C* variables, i.e.…”

“…According to Winkelmayer et al (2004), roe deer venison on average contains 25.88% to 27.97% dry matter (m. longissimus). Studying the effect of sex on roe deer venison (m. longissimus dorsi), Daszkiewicz et al (2012) found more dry matter in females (26.20%) than in males (24.68%). The dry matter content in muscle of the leg in our study was higher by about 5% in animals from South Moravia.…”

“…Zomborszky et al (1996) found 23% of proteins in both m. semimembranosus and in m. longissimus. More proteins in m. longissimus dorsi in females (22.79%) compared to males (21.84%) were reported by Daszkiewicz et al (2012). Collagen content also determines the nutritional value because it decreases the overall nutritional value of proteins (Taylor et al 2002).…”

“…Traditionally, the largest game meat producers in Europe have been the Central European countries. Only a small portion of the meat from hunted animals is consumed by the hunters and their families, most of the meat from hunted animals is sold to meat processing plants (Daszkiewicz et al 2012).…”

Quality indicators of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.) venison from two different Czech regions

et al. 2013

This study focused on differences in the monitored quality indicators of roe deer venison depending on the region of the Czech Republic where roe deer are hunted. Quality of roe deer venison was evaluated based on pH values, colour (CIEL*a*b* system) and chemical composition (content of haem pigments, dry matter, pure protein, collagen and fat). Samples of muscle from the leg (m. gluteus medius) were taken from 22 female roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.) from two hunting regions (Liberec and South Moravia) in the Czech Republic. In roe deer from Liberec, higher pH value (5.65, P < 0.001) was found; muscles were darker (L* = 36.03), contained higher redness (a* = 14.41, P < 0.001) and yellowness values (b* = 12.10) and higher chroma (C* = 18.86). In roe deer from South Moravia, higher (P < 0.05) hue (h°) values, and higher level of haem pigments (2.45 mg·g -1 ) were found. Muscles from roe deer from South Moravia contained higher amounts of dry matter (29.52%, P < 0.001), pure protein (23.84%, P < 0.001) and total collagen (0.86%), and lower amounts of intramuscular fat (0.48%). These results may provide an important source of information for consumers of roe deer meat because several differences in the quality (chemical composition) of muscles from South Moravian region and Liberec region were found. Presumably, the differences between muscles from animals living in two different Czech regions were due to the diet, form of land use (more agricultural land in Southern Moravia, and forests and mountains in Liberec) and climatic conditions (Liberec lies in the northern part of the Czech Republic). It is the first study of this topic in the Czech Republic.

Missing carcasses, lost nutrients: Quantifying nutrient losses from deer culling practices in Scotland

Deer management has become an integral part of ecosystem recovery efforts across the globe. Within Scotland, annual deer culls have been implemented to control deer browsing, with the carcasses most often removed from the landscape. Given that animal bodies concentrate large quantities of nutrients, this practice may deplete ecosystems of vital nutrients. We quantified the nitrogen, phosphorous and calcium losses from the removal of culled deer carcasses using nationwide statutory cull reports for four deer species in Scotland between 2010 and 2021. We estimate that annual losses from carcass removal over this period averaged 195,652 kg of nitrogen, 152,834 kg of phosphorus and 251,188 kg of calcium across Scotland. While both red and roe deer were culled at a much higher rate than the other two species red deer culls accounted for approximately 70% of the nutrients lost. Further, while large quantities of all three nutrients were removed from the landscape, calcium losses were particularly high. We then calculated nutrient losses within the three land classifications used in statutory cull reporting—agricultural areas, open range and woodlands—across Scotland's Deer Count Areas. Using data from the literature, we considered these losses in the context of other major environmental inputs and outputs within each land classification. Our results demonstrate that while open range lost more nutrients compared to the other two land classifications, culling resulted in high rates of phosphorus and calcium loss throughout all land classifications when compared to other environmental inputs. Practical implication. Our findings suggest that current practices of carcass removal are gradually stripping nutrients from the Scottish landscape, potentially undermining habitat recovery goals. While this study offers a preliminary, coarse scale summary of the issue, the way forward requires further study of local effects from carcass removal on nutrient pools and balancing deer management with habitat function through interwoven deer and nutrient management strategies.
