Investigations were carried out in three groups of kids of Serbian White breed as follows: group of lighter kids, average body mass at slaughtering 12.65 and average age of 70 days; group of medium heavy kids, body mass of 17.61 kg and average age of 97 days, and group of heavy kids, body mass prior to slaughtering of 22.70 kg and average age of 129 days. Objective of the research was to determine the meat yield (dressing percentage) and share of some slaughtering products in the mass prior to slaughtering and share of giblets in the mass of chilled carcass. It was eatablished that heavier kids have lower dressing percentage compared to lighter and medium heavy kids, more favourable conformation evaluation, better covering of carcass with fat tissue and better evaluation of the meat colour. Share of edible giblets/offal in the mass of carcass prior to slaughtering was higher in lighter kids compared to medium heavy and heavy kids. Share of giblets/offal in chilled carcacss was the lowest in heavy kids, slightly higher in medium heavy and the highest in lighter kids.
