Abstract
Eighteen weaned
kids with similar age (3 months) and body weights were selected
for the experiment and distributed to different 3 groups, each
consists of six kids viz. (T0) with recommended feeding including
available green (Lucerne) and dry fodder (jowar kadbi) plus
required concentrate (Home mode) on DM basis as per requirement;
(T1) with 50% soybean straw on DM basis and remaining 50% DM from
available green (Lucerne) and dry fodder (jowar kadbi) and
concentrate (Home made). While (T2) with 100% DM from soybean
straw plus concentrate (Home made). As such two feeding trials
were conducted, first trial was preceded by seven days as
pre-experimental period. From the result of the present study, the
inclusion of soybean straw on DM basis in growing kids was found
palatable and superior. Similarly, it was found to be most
economical for growing kids instead of Jowar straw.
