The aim of this work was to evaluate the body composition, bacteriological quality, proximate composition, @entity1522 content, total lipids fractionation, as well as @entity1718 profile in breast and thigh meat (with skin) of males and females of two species of game @entity4186 namely: Pintail (Anas acuta) and garganey (Anas querquedula). The obtained results are as follows. The live weight of pentail and garganey females constituted 59.0 and 86.0% of male's weight in pintail and garganey, respectively. The bacteriological quality revealed that the mean values of psychrotrophs, enterobacteriaceae, pseudomonas, coliforms, streptococci and Staph. aureus were 4.1, 2.8, 1.7, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.1 log 10 n/g of pintail breast muscle. The corresponding values in garganey breast muscle was 3.8, 3.2, 2.0, 3.0, 2.9 and 3.1, respectively. In the thigh of pintail and garganey, the results were more or less different. Neither salmonella nor @entity3168 could be isolated from examined game @entity4186 carcasses. Protein content ranged from 19.0 to 23.8%, fat 4.8 to 23.2%, ash 1.0 to 1.4% and energy value 580 to 1191 kJ/100 g in pintail meat against 20.8 to 23.3% protein, 9.3 to 16.1% fat, 1.3 to 1.4% ash and 741 to 952 kJ/100 g in garganey meat. Breast meat of pintail recorded high content of @entity68 (5.12 and 6.19 mg/100 g wet basis) in males and females, respectively, against 4.22 and 6.14 mg/100 g in garganey meat. The essential @entity1522 content ranged from 34.3 to 38.6 g/100 g protein in pintail meat against 36.3 to 38.1 g/100 g protein in garganey meat. The total lipids of pintail and garganey were fractionated to seven fractions. The major @entity1718 in pintail and garganey lipids were oleic, palmitic and stearic. Besides, garganey lipids had more unsaturated @entity1718 content compared with pintail.
