Evaluation of proximate. composition, lipid classes, fatty acid composition, and cholesterol and mineral contents of dressed meat was undertaken from feral Yeso sika deer caught around Abashiri city, Hokkaido. The results of the proximate composition of the meat were : 21.9 to 22.6% protein, 1.2 to 3.1% lipid, 72.9 to 74.8% moisture, and 1.6 to 2.1% ash. The meat of feral Yeso sika deer was characterized by a high protein content and a low fat content. There was no appreciable difference in the content of all the nutritive components between males and females, except for lipids. Neutral lipid and phospholipid represented over 78.8 and 14.8% of the total lipids, respectively. The major component of neutral lipid was triglyceride, and those of phospholipid were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylcholine. The major fatty acids of the total lipids in both sexes were C16:0, C16:1, C18:0, C18:1 and C18:2, and the content of C18:2 in males was higher than that in females. The major, fatty acids of neutral lipid in both sexes were C16:0, C16:1, C18:0 and C18:1, and those of phospholipid were C14:0, C16:0, C16:1, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2, C18:3 and C20:4. The sum of these fatty acids was more than 86% of the total fatty acids in each lipid class. Phospholipid contained a higher level of unsaturated fatty acids. The cholesterol levels varied from 46.3 to 58.6 (mg/100g wet weight basis) in meat from both sexes. The meat contained relatively large quantities of K, Na and P, and smaller amounts of Mg, Ca, Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn
