A Goat Feed that Gave 52.5g per day Growth
In this experiment, the feed was napier grass and a concentrate fed at 2% of the goats' body weight per day. The grass was available all the time. When the concentrate part was reduced to 1% and 0.5% of the goats' body weight per day, growth was 34.1 and 10.2g/day respectively.
The concentrate consisted of: maize: 35%
rice bran:30%
palm kernel cake: 32%
vitamins-minerals premix: 2%
salt: 1%.
The experiment lasted 89 days and female goats weighing about 12kg were used.
