Özet
This study was carried out to determine slaughtering and carcass characteristics of Turkish native geese, raised in freerange conditions in Kars province. Geese were divided into sex and age (group 1=6-8 months old and group 2=18-20 monthsold) groups. Live weights at slaughter were 3572.3 and 3887.5 g for group 1 and 2 (P<0.05) respectively, and were 3799.4 and3649.4 g for male and female geese. For group 1 and group 2, hot carcass weight and hot dressing percentage were 2598.2 gand 72.6%, and 2855.5 g and 73.5% respectively, and 2756.8 g and 72.4% for males and 2697.9 g and 73.7% for females. Bloodweight and feet weight were significantly affected by sex (P<0.05), and also for neck weight and gizzard weight (P<0.01). Inwhole carcass weight, percentage of high-value parts, i.e. breast and legs (thighs and drumsticks), were 53% and percentage oflow-values ones, i.e. back, wings and neck 40%, and 7% for total fat. It may be concluded that the weights of carcass were lowbut dressing percentage values were higher for Turkish native geese, raised in free range without fattening.
