Based on the results obtained by investigation of the effect of body mass of kids prior to slaughtering on carcass measures and evaluation it can be concluded that heavier kids (15.1-25.7 kg) had better index of meatiness of carcass and thigh, better carcass conformation, the carcass and kidneys are better covered with fat tissue, the colour of meat and fat are more favourable and as consequence the commercial value of such carcass is higher. Lighter kids (8.8-15.0 kg) have less superficial and kidney fat, therefore their meat is more suitable for specific restrictive nutrition.
