The aim of the studies was to determine a nutritive value of the wild boar meat from the whole carcasse and from individual primal cuts of the carcasse. Thirty six animals in the third age groups were examined: Group I — weaners, II — animals less than 2 years old and III — adults, more than 2 years old. The content of a dry weight, protein, collagen, fat, ash and energetic value were determined in individual primal cuts such as loin, shoulder, ham and neck. It was found that meat from the primal cuts of the carcasse characterizes a high protein content (18.73—21.21%) and a low fat content (3.20—6.82%) which determines its relatively low energetic value (461—571 kJ/100 g). The content of connective tissue in boar’s meat is higher than that in pork and ranges from 7 to 10% of a total protein. Age of animals influenced significantly the content of a total protein, collagen and ash.
