The chemical and fatty acid content of bulk samples of meat from the carcasses of eight male lambs of Maritsa sheep slaughtered immediately after the weaning at 60 days of age was studied. It was found that the dry matter was 30.794 % of the meat, the fats and proteins - 14.9 % and 14.97 % respectively. The oleic fatty acid (С18:1) was with the highest (29.930 %) relative share of the fatty extract from the bulk samples of meat. The content of the essential polynonsaturated linoleic (С18:2) and linolenic acid (С18:3) was respectively 4.414 % and 1.193 %, the ratio being linoleic : linolenic :: 3.6 : 1. The total percentage ratio of the saturated to nonsaturated fatty acids in the fatty extract of the bulk meat samples was 56.81% : 43.18%.
