Abstract:West African Dwarf (WAD) goat is one of the most prolific goat breeds in Nigeria, and its production fulfils important socio-economic functions. In Nigeria, high cost of feed and inadequate nutrient intake undermines this goat breed in expressing their full potential. Thus, 86-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the nutrient intake, body weight gain, nutrient digestibility and nitrogen utilization of WAD goats fed dietary levels of Siam weed (Chromolaena odorata) leaf meal. Sixteen WAD bucks of about 8… Show more
