Proximate Composition, Properties of Lipid and Mineral Contents in Yeso Sika Deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis) Meat.

Effect of age on nutritional properties of Iberian wild red deer meat

“…). This outcome agrees with data found in Iberian red deer (55.2–55.9 mg per 100 g meat), free‐ranging female elk (50.2 mg per 100 g meat) and Yeso sika deer (46.3–58.6 mg per 100 g meat). On the contrary, other authors found higher cholesterol content (ranging from 73.45 to 102 mg per 100 g meat) in deer meat .…”

Nutritional evaluation of the lipid fraction of Iberian red deer (Cervus elaphus hispanicus) tenderloin

“…The Iberian red deer cholesterol content is similar to the cholesterol content of venison from free-ranging female elk (50.2 mg/100 g of meat; Cervus elaphus nelsoni) (Rule, Broughton, Shellito, & Maiorano, 2002) and feral Yeso sika deer (46.3-58.6 mg/100 g of meat; Cervus nippon yesoensis) (Kasai, Sakai, Ishijima, & Hasegawa, 1999), but is considerably below the cholesterol content found in Slovenian red deer which ranged from 73.5 to 94.6 mg/100 g (Polak et al, 2008). Dissimilarities between the cholesterol content of Iberian and Slovenian red deer could be dependent on differences between the muscles used, since the cholesterol content is dependent on the muscle fiber composition (Chizzolini, Zanardi, Dorigoni, & Ghidini, 1999).…”

Seasonal changes of the mineral contents in the rumen of wild Yeso sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis)

“…However, the rumen content level of Fe was higher than requirements for sheep and goats (30 and 30–100 mg/kg DM, respectively) (NRC 2001). The Fe content of muscle in Yeso sika deer and Honshu sika deer is reportedly higher than in livestock for meat production (Kasai et al . 1999; Ishizuka et al .…”

“…However, the rumen content level of Fe was higher than requirements for sheep and goats (30 and 30-100 mg/kg DM, respectively) (NRC 2001). The Fe content of muscle in Yeso sika deer and Honshu sika deer is reportedly higher than in livestock for meat production (Kasai et al 1999;Ishizuka et al 2001;Okamoto et al 2004). In the future, the relationship between the Fe intake and Fe content of muscle in Yeso sika deer should be investigated.…”
