Abstract
Aim:
This study was conducted to evaluate the growth performance and
nutrient digestibility of guar meal, an unconventional
protein-rich feed ingredient in kids in comparison to
conventional groundnut cake.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 18 kids were randomly allotted to three groups, and
T1 group was fed on basal diet, T2 and T3 groups were offered
diet replacing groundnut cake at 50% and 100% with guar meal,
respectively, for a period of 120-day. At the end of the growth
trial, a digestibility trial was conducted to evaluate the
nutrient utilization.
Results:
There was no significant difference in dry matter intake among
three groups. Nutrient digestibilities were significantly higher
(p<0.05) in kids fed T2 ration with 50% replacement of groundnut
cake with guar meal.
Conclusion:
It can be concluded that guar meal can be incorporated at 50%
level in the concentrate mixture of goats replacing groundnut
cake without any adverse effects.
Keywords:
growth performance, guar meal, nutrient utilization.
