SummaryFatty acid composition of tail fat (TF), kidney fat (KF) and subcutaneous fat from the rumps (SCF) of docked and intact fat-tailed Awassi sheep was studied.Docking had no effect on the composition of KF. Kidney fat possessed harder characteristics due to its relatively higher content of saturated fatty acids as compared with SCF or TF.
