Changes in composition and fatty acids profile, specifically Omega 3, Omega 6 and its isomers in meat of kids as affected by dietary supplementation of whole linseed were investigated. Twenty four weaned Osmanabadi kids were, divided in four groups of six each. Group T0 was fed concentrate mixture as per requirement, however, 50, 100 and 150 g concentrate mixture provided to groups T1, T2, and T3 was replaced by whole linseed, respectively during the feeding trial for a period of 3 months. Content of ù-3 in 100 g meat was 25.22, 99.75, 159.55 and 215.06 mg in groups T0, T1, T2, and T 3, respectively, while ù-6 content in corresponding groups was 103.94, 150.86, 204.60 and 288.47 mg/100 g meat. The ù-3 and ù-6 contents in meat were increased significantly on increasing the quantity of linseed in the ration. As a result of increased linseed supplementation, levels of the minor ù-3 fatty acid isomers and total poly unsaturated fatty acids were also enhanced while total saturated fatty acids reduced significantly. It can be concluded that linseed supplementation can alter the fatty acids profile of kid's meat.
