Below is a feed formulae that can make goats to grow at a rate of 54g per day:
.
70% Gliricidia sepium, 30% Cassava peel (dried under the sun to remove toxin) and salt lick.
.
A 6 months old goat weighing 6.1kg was used in the experiment. When growing at this rate, the goat will gain 19.8kg in 1yr, ataining 25.9kg. When killed and deboned, we'll be left with 13.2kg meat, considering the fact that goats normally have 51% dressing percentage.
