Abstract: 【Objective】the characters of carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen isotopic composition in yak (Bos grunniem) muscle and the effect of geographical origin, pasture and drinking water were analyzed, which would provide the technical support for tracing and identifying the yak meat. 【Method】The yak muscle, pasture and water samples were collected from Haibei, Hainan and Yushu of Qinghai province, and longitude, latitude and altitude of sampling site were recorded by using GPS. The carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen stable isotopic ratio in samples were tested by using EA-IRMS. 【Result】The average value of δ13C in yak de-fatted muscle and fat was (-23.99±0.25)‰ and (-28.77±0.50)‰, respectively, and the average value of δ15N and δ2H in yak muscle was (4.04±0.91)‰ and (-107.99±11.08)‰, respectively. The δ13C and δ15N values in yak muscle were closely related to the pasture of the Tibetan Plateau, and the region had certain effect on δ13C values of yak muscle, indicating the δ13C values increased with the altitude increasing. The δ2H values of pasture and water samples among three regions of Haibei, Hainan and Yushu of Qinghai province showed significant differences. The order of δ2H values in pasture was Hainan>Haibei>Yushu, and the order of δ2H values in water was Haibei>Hainan>Yushu. The order of δ2H values in yak muscle was Hainan>Haibei>Yushu, and it was the same order as the pasture. The results indicated that the δ2H values in yak muscle were closely related to the drinking water and pasture, and they were decreased with altitude increasing, and the pasture probably had more effect on δ2H values in yak muscle than water. But it needs to be further researched and confirmed.【Conclusion】The stable isotopic fingerprints in yak muscle were closely related to the pasture, drinking water and terrain of high altitude, which had the unique fingerprints character.
