Two groups of five animals of local Bulgarian White kids were fed for 33 days iso-nitrogenous diets, containing either no added fat (control) or fish oil (experimental), added at 2.5 per cent as-fed basis of concentrate. Dietary fish oil did not influence the growth rate, dressing percentage, carcass and muscle measurements, but it increased the weights of caul - twice (P 0.1) and kidney fat (22 and 35 per cent, respectively). The decrease of water binding capacity (WBC) in m. LD (P less than 0.05) was accompanied by the same changes in myoglobin content of m. LD and m. semimembranosus, and colour in m. supraspinalis (P less than 0.05), and an increase of pH in m. supraspinalis (P less than 0.01), compared with the control group. This experiment showed that PUFA (from fish oil) could have an effect on distribution of body fat and some physicochemical characteristics of meat.
