To assess the economics of buffalo meat nuggets, three treatments were developed by incorporating 5% wheat bran (T₁), 10% wheat bran (T₂), and 15% wheat bran (T₃) into products by replacing an equal proportion of buffalo meat from the formulation.

To prepare the product, both the treatment and control groups were steam cooked for 34 minutes. In cost economics, group T₂ had the highest cost of formulation. The break-even point was predicted to be Rs 720743.31 for the control, Rs 834937.62, Rs 1012066.39, and Rs 1268232.96 for T1, T2, and T3, correspondingly. The cost-benefit ratio was highest for control and lowest for T3. The estimated economic specifics of the developed product revealed that an affordable firm may be established by maintaining a rate of Rs 249.79 for control and Rs 278.19, Rs 305.23, and Rs 224.08 for 5%, 10%, and 15% wheat bran incorporated items, respectively.
