“…The ADG observed in the present study was comparable with that was reported for Barbari breed (Annamman, 1989), Nubian kids fed on Alfalfa hay (Gelaye et al, 1990), Hararghe highland kids fed on hay and concentrate (Tamir and Awuk, 2015), Konkan Kanyal goats fed on hydroponically sprouted maize and barley fodder (Gebremedhin et al, 2015) and in Berari goats fed with complete feed based on jungle grass (Dhage et al, 2016).The present finding in respect of feed conversion efficiency was in good agreement with the findings of Baruah et al, (1988) in Assam local kids, Baruah et al, (1989), Baruah (1994) and Saikia et al, (1995) in crossbred (Beetal  Assam local) kid, Wadhwani and Patel (1991) in Marwari goats and Dhage et al, (2016) in Berari goats fed on complete ration based on jungle grass and concentrate. The kids fed Teosinte (T2), Napier (T3) and mix fodder (T4) received the DCP more than 100 per cent of ICAR (2013) requirement but kids fed Para grass (T1) received only 79.39±1.85 per cent of ICAR (2013) requirement might be because of higher level of protein in experimental diets.…”

“…All the group exhibited similar trend of fortnightly increase in live body weight throughout the experimental period which revealed the body weight of experimental kids increased along with age The significantly highest gain observed in Teosinte (T2) grass fed group followed by Napier (T3) grass fed group and lowest in Para (T1) and mix (T4) grass fed groups might be due to appropriate utilization of crude protein and other nutrient in Teosinte (T2) and Napier (T3) grass fed groups as compare to Para (T1) and mix (T4) grass fed groups. Similar rate in gain of body weight in crossbred (Beetal  Assam local) kids were reported by Saikia et al, (1995).…”

The small ruminant husbandry sector in India is not an organized sector like poultry, however, now-a- days many young entrepreneurs are setting up goat units using scientific rearing practices, because small ruminants play an important role in the food and nutritional security of rural people providing meat, milk and skin specially by goat. Due to higher input and output ratio goat is well suited for marginal and landless labor. After extensive comparison with lamb meat difference in flavour, aromas of goat meat have been noted and found huge demand. So, to increase the production potential of goat in term of milk, meat and skin it is necessary to incorporate proper feeding schedule under intensive or semi intensive system of production to achieve optimum animal productivity and economic sustainability. Twenty crossbred (Beetal  Assam Local) male goats lambs (6.72 ± 0.24 kg) were randomly distributed into four groups, each with five animals. All groups (T1, T2, T3 & T4) were offered the same concentrate mixture and also offered individual grass and admixture of three fodder as roughage source (50:50) on DM basis. Statistically non significant (p>0.05) difference was observed among the groups in respect of DM intake per 100 kg body weight and per kg W0.75. The digestibility coefficient of DM, OM, CP, EE was significantly higher in group fed Teosinte (T2) and Napier (T3) grass compared to Para (T1) and mix (T4) grass fed groups. However, non significant difference was observed among the groups in respect to digestibility coefficient of NFE, CF, NDF and ADF. Significantly (<0.001) higher final body weight, total gain and average daily gain during entire feeding trial were observed in Teosinte (T2) and Napier (T3) grass fed group. Significantly (< 0.05) lower FCE was observed in both the Teosinte (T2) and Napier (T3) grass fed group.

“…Average daily feed intake was 225 g when offered 300 g feed on daily basis. Bhuyan, 1995 andSaikia et al, 1995 recorded feed conversion efficiency in Beetal×Assam local crossbred kids ranging from 5.93 to 12.55 and 5.78 to 12.01 respectively, which is higher than the present value. This may be due to the difference in the quality of the ration fed.…”

Background: The experiment was conducted at farmer’s field to study the growth response and efficiency of feed conversion of Assam local goats under different systems of management.Methods: Twenty goats of one month of age were randomly selected in village Lachima of Nalbari district, Assam. The goats were randomly divided in two groups comprising of ten kids in each group viz, T0 (Control) where goats were reared under extensive system of management with traditional grazing and browsing and T1 (Experimental) where goats were reared under intensive system of management with ad lib. concentrate and fodder feeding. Conclusion: The average initial and final body weight of the goats during the experimental periods in T0 and T1 groups were recorded as 2.90±0.03 kg and 2.89±0.04 kg and 10.36±0.26 kg and 16.05±0.53 kg respectively with highly significant difference (P less than 0.01) from 3rd week of the experiment till the end of the experiment. The overall changes in body measurement showed highly significant difference between the groups. The feed conversion efficiency on DM basis was recorded as 3.49 in the treatment group. Due to significantly higher growth rate in the intensive management system, it assures higher income in small holders’ goat production system.

“…It was well established that supplementation of concentrate mixture in the roughagebased diet balances protein, energy, and minerals for ruminants; therefore, a positive response was found in terms of weight gain and feed conversion efficiency. The high energy content of the ration had a positive effect on the body weight gain of goats (Shahjalal et al 1992, Saikia et al 1995, Hossain et al 2003. Providing larger quantity of concentrated feed in the diet increases the energy density of the diet which may improve feed efficiency and animal performance (Missio et al 2010).…”

Thirty-two weaned male Barbari kids (av. age, 144.65 days; weight, 9.43±0.24 kg), reared under intensive system of feeding, were divided equally into four groups (T1, T2, T3 and T4) to investigate the effect of supplementation of different levels of concentrate mixture on voluntary intake, growth performance, carcass traits and quality. All kids were fed with Bengal gram straw ad lib. + green fodder ad lib. as basal ration and supplemented with barley grain @ 0.7% of body weight in T1 and concentrate mixture @ 0.7, 1.4, and 2.1% of body weight in T2, T3, and T4, respectively. Dry Matter Intake (DMI, g)/kg W0.75 increased significantly in T1 and T4 than T2 and T3. Average daily weight gain (ADG) (g/d/kid) was enhanced significantly with each gradual increase in concentrate level. Slaughter weight and empty body weight were greatest in T4 compared with other treatments. Significantly greater dressing percentage and yield of separated lean meat was observed in kids under T3 and T4 than other two groups. But, meat:bone ratio and separated carcass fat yield was significantly higher only in kids under T4. Meat protein content (%) increased in T2, T3, and T4 as compared to control T1. Meat fat content increased linearly due to a gradual increase in the level of concentrate mixture supplementation to the finisher kids. Whereas, meat moisture and ash per cent remained unaltered due to different levels of concentrate supplementation to kids. Therefore, it may be concluded that supplementation of concentrate mixture @ 2.1% of the body weight in the roughage-based diet increased DMI in finisher Barbari kids with greater energy and protein values, which attributed to enhanced ADG in such kids by 408.3% over the control (supplemented with barley grain only), and also improved feed conversion ratio, carcass yield, carcass traits, and meat quality.
