In France, goat meat production is considered as goat milk co-product. ValCabri project aims at improving kid meat value all along the production chain through the exploration of different levers. Work has been conducted about the identification of the most appropriate genetics types to produce kid meat, and about the optimization of technical itineraries, including investigations in farms, focus groups about acceptability of kids fattening in farms and experimental tests. A part of the project was dedicated to the development of a kid meat proposal more appropriate to consumers needs, including new kids carcasses cuts and sensorial investigations. Finally, a project phase was focused on the economic aspects of kids fattening in farms, to propose production costs and different typical examples. All the results have been valued in different documents, available in open access on the website of the ValCabri project (https://idele.fr/valcabri/).
