The present experiment was carried out to assess the effect of feeding leaves, forage on nutrient utilization & the effect of supplementary inorganic mineral mixture on the growth performance of goats with fifteen healthy goat kids of 4-6 month of age and divided into three groups. Experimental feeding was done for 90 days during which a metabolic trial was conducted. At the end of 45 days feeding of tree leaves Albezia lebbek, Ficus glomerata and Sorghums sudananse. The DM digestibility was ±, ±, ±; Crude Protein was ±, ±, ± and Crude Fiber was ±, ±, ± respectively for group I, II and III. The feed conversion efficiencies were, , and kg per kg weight gain in for group I, II and III. Mean daily gain in body weight of animals in group I, II and III was ±, ± and ± gram/day respectively showing significant difference among the three groups. | Impact of feeding and utilization of tree leaves and green forage on growth performance of goat kids
