Fatty acid profile from five castrated kids was studied. Kids were kept with their mothers and pasture fed at Picos de Europa until 7-8 months (12,8 kg average carcass weight). Longissimus thoracis samples between 12th and 13th rib were used. Fatty acids were identified and quantified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Fatty acid profile showed low percentages of saturated fatty acids and low values of the ratio n-6/n-3 and the atherogenic index. Besides, fatty acid profile displayed high percentages of polyunsaturated fatty acids (especially n-3) and high values of the desirable fatty acids index and the polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acid ratio.
