Abstract

Data were collected (n=227) by questionnaire and processed by PASW Statistics 18. Most of the students ate already game meat occasionally (all those who have hunter in the family eat at least in every month and more species). The most frequently consumed game meat is the wild boar meat. The most popular species are wild boar, roe deer and pheasant. 90% of the students considers game meat as healthy food. Only few people reject game meat, and the main causes are: emotional reasons, never tasted it, vegetarian lifestyle, fear of zoonotic diseases.
