Abstract

This study considers the effect of wild boar sex (males and females) on fatty acid composition in subcutaneous tissue. All the samples used in the experiment were obtained from the hunters. Wild boar was represented by eight young (1 to 2 years old) individuals hunted during winter (December-January) hunting period in the central part of Lithuania. Males had higher portion of C18:2n-3 and C20:5n-3 (P<0.05) and tended to have higher proportions of C20:4n-6 and C20:2n-6. Also, the n-6/n-3 ratio in subcutaneous lipids of wild males were lower (P<0.05) than those of females. Through the application of two multivariate statistical methods, principal component and cluster analyses, the differences in fatty acid composition between wild boar males and females were identified and chromatographic data were confirmed.
