The present study aimed to evaluate the nutritional proximate composition, some qualitative traits and fatty acid profile of meat from wild thrush, woodcock and starling hunted in Southern Italy in 2017 and 2018. Nutritive composition and physical traits of meat and lipid fatty acid profile were evaluated in breast muscle (Pectoralis major) of gamebirds. From findings, the meat pH was significantly (P < 0.001) higher in starling when compared to the other two species. Thrush meat was significantly (P = 0.002) darker and had higher redness (P < 0.001) and yellowness (P = 0.004) in comparison to starling and woodcock. Thrush breast muscle showed the highest (P < 0.001) level of lipids and lowest (P < 0.001) protein content. Meat from thrush showed the best lipid fatty acid profile based on the higher (P < 0.001) monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and lower (P < 0.001) saturated fatty acids (SFA) concentrations. Starling breast muscle reported the highest (P = 0.002) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) level compared to both thrush and woodcock, whereas no differences were detected on total n-3. The ratio n-6/n-3 was higher (P = 0.001) in starling muscle. Thrush breast muscle had the lowest (P < 0.001) atherogenic and thrombogenic indices compared to the other gamebirds. The findings indicated that meat from the three investigated gamebirds species may represent a healthily lipid food source for human consumption in relation to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

鹅口疮（Turdus philomelos），wood（Scolopax Rustola）和star鸟（Sturnus vulgaris）的肉品质和脂质脂肪酸谱：初步比较研究。

本研究旨在评估2017和2018年在意大利南部捕猎的野生鹅口疮、,和八哥的肉的营养成分，一些定性特征和脂肪酸谱。评估了肉的营养成分和物理特性以及脂质脂肪酸谱在野鸟的胸肌（胸大肌）中。根据发现，与其他两个物种相比，八哥的肉的pH值显着更高（P <0.001）。与star鸟和wood相比，鹅口疮肉深得多（P = 0.002），发红（P <0.001）和黄度（P = 0.004）高。鹅口疮胸肌显示出最高（P <0.001）的脂质水平和最低（P <0.001）的蛋白质含量。鹅口疮的肉显示出较高的脂类脂肪酸特征（P <0。001）单不饱和脂肪酸（MUFA）和较低（P <0.001）饱和脂肪酸（SFA）浓度。th鸟胸肌报告的最高不饱和脂肪酸（PFA = 0.002）水平高于鹅口疮和wood，而总n-3均未发现差异。八哥肌肉中n-6 / n-3的比率较高（P = 0.001）。与其他野鸟相比，鹅口疮胸肌的动脉粥样硬化和血栓形成指数最低（P <0.001）。研究结果表明，来自三种被调查鸟类的肉可以代表人类食用与心血管疾病相关的健康脂质食物。002）与鹅口疮和wood相比，多不饱和脂肪酸（PUFA）含量较高，而总n-3含量未见差异。八哥肌肉中n-6 / n-3的比率较高（P = 0.001）。与其他野鸟相比，鹅口疮胸肌的动脉粥样硬化和血栓形成指数最低（P <0.001）。研究结果表明，来自三种被调查鸟类的肉可以代表人类食用与心血管疾病相关的健康脂质食物。002）与鹅口疮和wood相比，多不饱和脂肪酸（PUFA）含量较高，而总n-3含量未见差异。八哥肌肉中n-6 / n-3的比率较高（P = 0.001）。与其他野鸟相比，鹅口疮胸肌的动脉粥样硬化和血栓形成指数最低（P <0.001）。研究结果表明，来自三种被调查鸟类的肉可以代表人类食用与心血管疾病相关的健康脂质食物。
