During the last years, the consumption and assortment of game meat products has significantly increased. Particular attention is paid to deer farms. There have been not very many studies performed on the biochemical composition of game meat. Therefore, the aim of the research was to evaluate the protein and fatty acids composition of game meat in Latvia farms and wildlife in comparison with beef meat from organic farming. The research was carried out in different regions of Latvia. In the studied samples the protein, amino acids, fat and cholesterol content and fatty acids composition were determined. The sum of essential amino acids in game meet samples was determined from 27.1 – 42.6 mg 100 gE-1. It was concluded that the content of saturated fatty acids was lower in the meat samples of wild deer - 33.6%, while in the meat samples of farm deer and beef it was higher - 41.2% and 40.3%, respectively. The content of cholesterol was similar in the meat samples from different species – wild deer meat samples had 74.23; farm deer 66.57, but beef samples had 67.92 mg 100 gE-1.
