Resumen
Hare meat from animals differently reared and fed were analysed to compare the influence of different rearing techniques, different energy levels of feeds and gender on the productive performances of hares, and on the quantitative characteristics and chemical and fatty acid profile of the meat. The effects of diet and gender did not produce important differences in productive performances and on the quantitative and qualitative parameters under consideration. Statistically significant differences were found depending on rearing techniques. Those differences for the hares reared in cages referred to better productive performances which favoured fleshier carcasses and a higher accumulation of fat. The acid composition depended on the rearing conditions, which affected the motor activity of the animals and therefore the consumption and the deposit of determined lipid fractions. (A)
