Abstract：The experiment aimed to study the meat quality and utilization of Liaoning Cashmere goats.The trial selected 10 cashmere goats from three different breeding mode farms(six male goats and four female goats),and after slaughtering,the forelimbs,hind limbs,and the longest back muscles were taken to determine the intramuscular fatty acid composition and content of each part using gas chromatography.The results showed that the content of SFA in Liaoning Cashmere goat muscles was 84.32 mg/100 g,mainly composed of long-chain palmitic acid and stearic acid,with no significant difference in SFA and SCFA content among the parts(P＞0.05).The content of UFA in Liaoning Cashmere goat muscles was 138.83 mg/100 g,with the average content of MUFA and PUFA being 111.63,and 27.20 mg/100 g,respectively.The content of PUFA in the hind limbs was extremely higher than that in the forelimbs and the longest back muscles(P＜0.01),and the content of n-6 PUFA in the hind limbs and the longest back muscles was extremely higher than that in the forelimbs(P＜0.01).The contents of oleic acid,palmitoleic acid,linoleic acid,and arachidonic acid in the muscles of each part were relatively high,and the content of DHA was in the order of the longest back muscles＞forelimbs＞hind limbs.The study indicates that the fatty acid nutritional value in Liaoning Cashmere goat meat is high,and the fatty acid composition of the hind limbs is superior to that of the longest back muscles and forelimbs.
