Spent hen meat can be utilized for the production of comminuted meat products to improve its marketability. In the present study both broccoli and carrot powder incorporated meat cutlets were developed and their quality and storage stability was evaluated and cost of production was calculated. The total production cost of developed meat cutlets (per 100 kg) was calculated on the basis of cost of formulation, breading, frying and overhead production which was Rs. 10471.00, Rs. 2567.00, Rs. 255.00 and Rs. 2286.00, respectively. The production cost was calculated on the basis of cooking yield and recorded as Rs. 176 for control and carrot powder incorporated cutlets and Rs. 181 for broccoli powder incorporated meat cutlets. Total profit from sale of control meat cutlets is around Rs. 56/kg and the profit per month was found to be Rs. 140000. Net profit per month was found to be Rs. 93334 after repayment of loan amount Rs. 46666 per month for 12 months. Break Even Point was estimated around 12 and 273602 on the basis of unit and rupee sales, respectively. Cost benefit ratio was around 0.35 and return on investment was 35%.
