The paper studies the meat productivity of lambs and kids fed under the same conditions, the chemical composition of their meat and the morphological parameters of their carcasses. The main differences in the chemical composition of the meat of lambs and kids were observed in terms of the amount of fat contained in it. Thus, it was found that the amount of fat in lamb meat exceeded its amount in kid meat by almost 2 times (P < 0.05). The amount of internal fat in lambs with a high coefficient of reliability (P < 0.001) was also approximately 2 times higher than in kids. The slaughter yield in carcasses of lambs (51.67%) also turned out to be higher than that of lambs (42.79%). The weight of chilled carcasses of lambs exceeds by 18.4% the same weight of kid carcasses. However, when it came to boneless meat and bones, there was no significant difference between lambs and kids. The reason for this is that goat carcasses do not contain fat-tail fat, while lamb carcasses contain approximately 10% fat-tail fat. Thus, our experiments have shown that the meat productivity of lambs, the amount of fat in their meat and the morphological composition of their carcasses are relatively higher than these indicators in kids.
