The aim was to evaluate smoked blood sausage prepared using goat blood (50%), viscera (10%) and meat
fragments (20%). Microbiological, chemical and sensory evaluations were conducted. The quality analyses
showed that smoked goat blood sausage is rich in high biological value proteins, amino acids, essential
fatty acids, and iron (26.65 mg/100 g). The smoked goat blood sausage was rated to have a sensory acceptance
of greater than 80%. The use of edible by-products fromthe slaughter of goats in the formulation of smoked blood
sausage is viable because it uses low-cost raw materials; furthermore, the utilisation of these by-products can
generate income for producers, allowing them to offer a meat product of high nutritional and sensory quality.
