The paper presents investigations of slaughter results, i.e. meat production results, in 96 kids of domestic Balkan goat (4 herds, 24 animal per herd, 50:50 sex ratio), slaughtered at 90 days of age to determine differences between investigated herds and sex of kids (male vs. female), pertaining to quantitative characteristics of meat. In fattening during suckling period, until the age of 90 days, the finishing body mass of kids was 13.62 kg (13.83 kg males and 13.42 kg females), and the average daily weight gain was 121.20 g (123.0 male and 120.0 female kids). The average warm carcass dressing percentage including head and entrails for kids from all investigated herds was 58.19%. Pertaining to the evaluation of carcasses of slaughtered kids, it can be concluded that, by all criteria, carcasses with the highest scores were from Herd 4 and Herd 2, either virtually identical sum of scores (13.87 and 13.82). Also, carcasses from male kids had better scores for all established parameters of quality, as compared to female kids, but the established difference was not statistically significant. Better nutrition fattening (Herd 2 and Herd 4) had a considerable favourable effect on achieving higher body weight at 90 days, as well as better commercial value of the carcass.
