“…Nonetheless, the increase in average daily gain (ADG) resulting from concentrate intake was considerable especially in the last 34 (56-90) days of the trial where growth rate of the supplemented goats was more than double that of the control goats. Meanwhile, the overall increase in ADG of more than 57% observed in both genotypes was higher than the 18% increment reported by Turner et al (2014) in Boer-crossbreds but similar to observations made by Haddad (2005) on growing Baladi goats fed varying proportions of forage to concentrate. The higher growth rate of M Â B crossbreds showed the genetic superiority of the Boer goat over the pure Mubende goat and this was consistent with previously reported results by Ssewanyana et al (2004).…”

“…The efficiency of concentrate utilisation of 8.1-11.9 kg DM/kg live weight gain is comparable to the amount used to obtain one kg weight gain in non-grazing cattle (Mwilawa, 2012). However, this is much higher than the efficiency of feed utilisation of 3.4 kg DM per kg live weight observed by Haddad (2005) in Baladi goat kids fed diet containing 85% concentrate. The higher concentrate DM intake of the crossbreds (M Â B) which had a higher growth rate compared to the pure Mubende was in agreement with earlier results ( NRC, 1991) that animals take in DM to meet their energy demands for physiological functions such as growth and milk production.…”

“…Os coeficientes de digestibilidade registrados neste experimento estão de acordo com os observados por outros autores em estudos com caprinos (Moore et al, 2002;Haddad et al, 2005;Bueno et al, 2000) e ovinos (Ludden et al, 1995;Silva et al, 2004a), observando-se que, aumentando o teor de FDN das rações, ocorre diminuição na digestibilidade de MS, MO, PB e CT e aumento na de FDN. O maior teor de fibra na dieta diminui a digestibilidade da MS, em virtude da redução de carboidratos não-estruturais, de rápida degradação ruminal.…”

“…Locally available roughage-based complete feed blocks were found suitable for domestic ruminants (Jakhmola, 2005). Forage to concentrate ratio in these blocks is invariably kept at 60:40, which was required for greater intake and digestibility of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM) and crude protein (CP) (Haddad, 2005). Adequate ruminal energy supply coupled with an appropriate amount of ruminally available nitrogen promotes microbial nitrogen synthesis and efficiency (Henning et al, 1993).…”
