The experimental design used Completely Randomized Designed (CRD) in a 2x2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Twenty four male Thai native x Anglo-Nubian crossbred goats were randomly allocated to receive four treatments. The experiment was conducted for 4 months and slaughtered that the Longissimus dorsi muscle was collected for fatty acid analysis. The results conclude that either castrated method or ages had no significantly different on Monounsaturated Fatty Acid (MUFA) (p>0.05) except erucic acid (C22:1n9). Interaction between castrated method and ages had significantly different in MUFA (p<0.01). Although, the effect of castration method and age are not difference on fatty acid composition, it contributed to known that difference Castration Method and age (surgical and budizzo) no effect on accumulation fatty acid in meat goats.
