Producing some of the leanest meats in the world, with an average of 0.5g of fat per 100g and high levels of protein, zinc, iron, vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids, studies show that zebra meat is an ideal alternative.

A new delicacy may soon become a staple of any braai, as new evidence from animal scientists at Stellenbosch University shows that zebra meat is an ideal species for food production.

“The considerable contribution of the edible byproducts and the high muscle yield indicate that the Plains zebra can potentially be used as a valuable protein source, thereby contributing to food security in especially rural areas of SA,” reads the report. The highest-yielding animal produced over 24kg of meat, while the average was 18.5kg. Edible offal amounted to about 110kg on average, with a maximum of 136kg.the animals harvested in the winter yielded more protein, probably due to seasonal differences in diet and foraging behaviour.
