Little is known about the ability of pasture
consumption to alter the fatty acid composition in
geese although it is an herbivorous bird and consumes
variable amounts of forages. Moreover, pasture is a
good source of bioactive compounds, such as saponins,
tannins, and natural diterpenes with vitamin E activity,
which is the primary lipid-soluble antioxidant in
biological systems (Kerry et al., 2000). Diets enriched
with natural antioxidants could increase meat oxidative
stability (Maraschiello et al., 1999; Liu et al., 2009), but
no information on the contribution of pasture intake to
the oxidative stability of goose meat has been reported.
Therefore, the aim of this paper was to investigate
the infl uence of pasture intake on meat quality, lipid
oxidation, and fatty acid composition of geese.
