<p><em>The objective of this study were to find out and to compare the effect of supplementation of L-carnitine and tuna fish oil and lemuru fish oil on fatty acid saturated, fatty acid non saturated concentration and peroksida, TBA number.</em></p><p><em> The materials used were 20 male PE (Peranakan Etawah) goats of 2 until 3 month old and 15.5-23.5 kilogram body weight. The feedstuff used were wild grass, yellow corn, rice bran, soy bean meal, coconut meal, mineral premix. L-carnitine, tuna fish oil and lemuru fish oil. The method of the research was experimental in vivo using Completely Randomized Blok Design. There were 4 treatments in each treatment and 5 replication. Treatment consisted of P<sub>0</sub>= control ration, P<sub>1</sub>=P<sub>0</sub> +L-carnitine 50 ppm, P<sub>2</sub>=P<sub>1</sub> + tuna fish oil 5 ml or equal with 4% in the ration, and P<sub>3</sub>=P<sub>1</sub>+ lemuru fish oil 5 ml or equal with 4% in the ration. The variables measuared fatty acid saturated, fatty acid non saturated concentration and peroksida number..</em></p><p><em> The results of variance analysis showed that the effect of supplementation of tuna fish oil and lemuru fish oil (P<sub>2 </sub>and P<sub>3</sub>) in the rations contain 50 ppm L-carnitine were significantly (P&lt;0.01) on faty acid saturated, faty acid non saturated concentration and peroksida number.</em></p><p><em>The conclusion of this research shows that the supplementation of 50 ppm L-carnitine, tuna and lemuru fish oil 5ml that was equal to 4% in goat rations can incrase non saturated fatty acid from 59,74 to 67,36%, than to decreased saturated fatty acid from 40,26 to 32,64 %. Proces burned of meat goat to increase peroxida from 0.1437 until 0.1615 miliequivalen/kg and malonaldehyde from 1,807 until 2,440 mg/kg then to decrease concentration omega-3 fatty acid from 5,957 until 5,945%.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>Key words : saturated fatty acid, non saturated fatty acid , L-carnitine, tuna, lemuru fish oils</em><em></em></p>
