The characteristics of goat meat from the argan area was studied in 2 experiments. Each experiment was carried out on 3 groups of 6 male goats, reared either indoors or at grazing in the Argan forest and given or not a concentrate. The growth rate of the grazing goats receiving no energy supplementation was very low in the first experiment (34 g/d), but it was relatively high in the second one (64 g/d) with a higher availability of herbaceous vegetation. In both experiments, the weights of omental and perirenal adipose tissues were the lowest in the 2 groups of grazing goats. These goats had the highest percentages of odd FA, branched-chain FA, and n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated FA, but the lowest percentage of palmitic acid. The low fat content of goat meat from this area and the fatty acid profile give their meat a more beneficial characteristic for consumers' health.
