The Value as Food and Screening for the Nutritional Effects of the Goat Meat

Abstract

The nutrients contained in the goat meat Japanese' Saanen (Japan) and Black goat (Korea) were analyzed.
The amount of crude proteins, crude lipids in the goat meat of Black goat were high compared to goat meat of Saanen.
Male rats were fed a cholesterol diet with 18% defatted goat meat and hydrolyzed goat meat as protein. Protein source were defatted goat meat and 2.0% papain hydrolyzed goat meat.
After 4 weeks of feeding, serum total cholesterol concentration was significantly lower in rats fed defatted goat meat than in those fed lactcasein (control diet), and serum cholesterol decreased in rats fed hydrolyzed goat meat more than rats fed defatted goat meat.
There was a higher amount of IgA in serum of the goat meat group compared to control group. There were no significant difference in the fecal cholesterol extraction among the group.
The fecal bile acids excreation was significantly higher in the goat meat of Saanen and defatted goat meat of Black goat than control group.
