The proximate composition, energetic value, minerals, B-group vitamins and pH value of the loin (longissimus thoracis) of 71 wild Iberian red deer (Cervus elaphus hispanicus), were evaluated in stags and hinds hunted in autumn and winter. In autumn, meat had a higher content of moisture, K, Na, Zn and thiamine when compared to winter, in which higher content of proteins and P were detected. Meat from stags had a higher moisture, Na, Zn and folic acid content, while hinds provided optimal pH values (<5.8) in higher proportions than stags. Considering European Unions nutrition and health claims, deer loin has a high content of proteins, Zn, vitamin B₁₂ (cyanocobalamin), and a low content of fat and sodium/salt, being a source of P, Fe, Cu and vitamins B₂ (riboflavin) and B₃ (niacin). Additionally, health claims related to children's development could be attributed to this meat, which may increase the interest on deer meat from consumers.

在秋冬季节猎取的雄鹿和后背中评估了71头野生伊比利亚马鹿（Cervus elaphus hispanicus）腰肉（longissimus thoracis）的近似组成，能量值，矿物质，B组维生素和pH值。与冬季相比，秋天的肉中水分，钾，钠，锌和硫胺素的含量更高，而其中蛋白质和磷的含量更高。鹿肉的水分，钠，锌和叶酸含量较高，而后腿提供的最佳pH值（<5.8）比鹿肉高。考虑到欧盟的营养和健康要求，鹿腰中的蛋白质，锌，维生素B ₁₂（氰基钴胺素）含量高，脂肪和钠/盐含量低，是P，Fe，Cu和维生素B的来源₂（核黄素）和B ₃（烟酸）。此外，与儿童发育有关的健康声明可能归因于这种肉，这可能会增加消费者对鹿肉的兴趣。
