In this study, it is aimed to investigate the economic values of by-products obtained as a result of slaughter and to determine of these values within the purchase of carcass for slaughtered cattle-buffalo and lamb-sheep. Cutting records for the years 2007 and 2008 of a slaughterhouse pertaining to the private sector and the weight and price data concerning the carcass and by-products obtained from the slaughtered cattle-buffalo and the lamb-sheep constitute the material of the study. The average by-product income obtained from a carcass for 2007 and 2008 has been calculated respectively as 117.91 TL and 141.23 TL for cows; 189.59 TL and 237.08 TL for calves-bullocks; 125.31 TL and 173.88 TL for heifers; 107.41 TL and 146.35 TL for buffalos; 14.00 TL and 17.00 TL for lambs; 14.00 TL and 16.00 TL for sheep. Additionally, the share of average incomes of by-products in the average purchase price per carcass has been determined for 2007 and 2008 respectively as 7.30% and 7.78% for cows, 7.86% and 8.24% for calves-bullocks, 7.93% and 8.57% for heifers; 8.08% and 7.67% for buffalos; 11.71% and 13.02% for lambs; 10.15% and 9.56% for sheep. Besides, for the research period the rate of total monetary value of destroyed by-products within the total by-product income has been calculated as average 0.96% for lamb-sheep and 0.89% for cattle-buffalo. Finally, together with the increasing density of slaughter of the industrial meat enterprises in Turkey and as a result of their being operated with efficient and high-capacity utilization, for all species of slaughtered animals, also the possibility of collecting, processing and evaluating economically of all kinds of edible and inedible animal by-products shall be ensured. In the study, it has been determined that a substantial part of the amount the enterprises have paid for the carcass purchase has been obtained as the by-product income.
