Another feed fmla that gave 43g per day of growth consists of 30% Gliricidia sepium (air dried for 15 minutes before feeding) and 70% chopped guinea grass. Growing local goats in Laos weighing 11 - 18kg were used in the experiment. Water and mineral lick were avalable at all time. They found out that to gain 1kg in weight, the goats have to eat 10.3kg in feed. The dry weight of G. Sepium eaten per day is 119g. That of guinea grass is 324g.
