Edible byproducts or organ meats of Barbari kids (Capra hircus) were analyzed for their fatty acid and mineral profile. Mineral profile analysis revealed significant (P<0.05) difference between muscle and organ meat. Kidney had highest sodium content (202.39mg/100g) whereas potassium content was greatest in testicles (362.61mg/100g). Copper, iron and zinc were found to be highest in liver (6.97mg/100g), spleen (31.16mg/100g) and muscle (4.15mg/100g) respectively. Different categories of fatty acids i.e., saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids and ratio of PUFA/SFA, n6/n3 etc were also estimated. Spleen evinced the highest saturated fatty acid content (54.95%) although monounsaturated fatty acid content was greatest in muscle (40.36%). Polyunsaturated fatty acids were highest in liver (22.54%). PUFA/SFA ratio of liver (0.49) was similar to the recommended level whereas, spleen, brain and testicles showed favorable n6/n3 ratio.
