If there is at least one baryon in the debris it wil eventually either become a single proton (which is stable) or alter an atomic nucleus to have an extra proton or neutron.

 

If the initial baryon is not positively charged, beta decays must occur if it eventually becomes a proton.

 

If there are antibaryons in the debris, they gotta wind up anihilating protons and neutrons somewhere unless an aniproton escapes all the way to deep outer space (or one of the storage rings of ISR). Apart from the case of permanent antiprotons, the total sum of "new" protons and neutrons must be equal to the sum of incoming ones in the collision minus the number of any incoming antiprotons and antineutrons.

 

Baryon number conservation, charge conservation...
