              Abstract 
 
              Aim: The study was conducted 
              to estimate the contribution of edible byproducts of Barbari kids 
              to their live and carcass weight as well as to assess textural and 
              color characteristics and microbiological status of these 
              byproducts.  
              Materials and Methods: Percent live weight, Percent carcass 
              weight, Texture, color, and microbiological analysis was done for 
              edible byproducts viz. liver, heart, kidney, spleen, brain 
              and testicle and longissimus dorsi muscle was taken as a 
              reference.  
              Results: The edible byproducts of Barbari kids constitute 
              about 3% of the live weight of an animal of which liver 
              contributed maximum (1.47%) followed by testicles (0.69%) and 
              heart (0.41%). While the same constituted 3.57, 1.70, and 0.99%, 
              respectively on carcass weight. There was significant (p<0.05) 
              difference among all organs regarding textural properties. Liver 
              required the maximum shear force and work of shear (121.48N and 
              32.19 kg-sec) followed by spleen and heart. All organs revealed 
              characteristics color values (L*, a*, b*, 
              chroma, and hue) which were significantly different (p<0.05) from 
              muscle values. The total viable count, coliform count showed 
              slight differences for all organs studied. The staphylococcus
              counts were low with little differences among organs.  
              Conclusion: Edible byproducts have a significant contribution 
              to carcass weight which could enhance total edible portion of the 
              carcass. Efficient utilization of these by-products returns good 
              source of revenue to the meat industries. Textural and color 
              analysis give information for their incorporation in comminuted 
              meat products, and microbial study tells about the storage study. 
              However, study was in the preliminary and basic step forward 
              toward better utilization of 3% of live animal which could 
              increase the saleable cost of animal by 6.94%.  
              Keywords: edible byproducts, hunter color lab, microbial 
              quality, textural characteristics
