Quantitative composition of micro-and macroelements in the muscle tissue of the boron game of the Yakutsk habitat

The purpose of the study is to carry out a quantitative assessment of the quality of boron game meat by studying the mineral composition immediately after firing. The research tasks were to study mineral composition of boron game meat by the seasons of the year (winter-spring and summer-autumn); compare the features of the quantitative composition of micro-and macroelements by types of boron game. As the objects of the research the carcasses of birds of different types of grouse family served: wood-grouse ordinary (Tetrao urogallus), black grouse-kosach (Lyrurus tetrix), partridge (Perdix) and an ordinary hazel grouse (Bonasa bonasia). In total, 15 carcasses of boron game in 4 species were shot for research, obtained by hunters by amateurs during the spring-autumn shooting of birds in the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). According to the results of studies of the quantitative composition of macro and trace elements of muscle tissue of grouse birds in the territory of Yakut area in the summer-autumn mining period, compared with the winter-spring periods, calcium prevails in capercaillie meat by 22.98 ± 0.01 mg% (Р≤0.001), and slightly low falls on partridge - 13.21 ± 0.01 mg% (Р ≤ 0.001), the predominance of phosphorus is found in grouse meat by 234.90 ± 0.03 mg% (Р ≤ 0.001), the smallest, respectively, in grouse meat 188.45 ± 0.05 mg% (Р ≤ 0.001). At the same time, the muscle tissue of the grouse contains more magnesium by 30.2 % than in the winter-spring period. According to the results of comparison, the meat of boron game shot in the summer-autumn period is significantly superior to the meat mined in the winter-spring period in terms of the content of many vital elements. The content of mineral substances does not differ in the types of the grouse family birds.
