Abstract

The domestic goat (Capra hircus) is significant throughout the world today, fulfilling a number of needs of various cultural groups. Feeding value of treated soybean cake and urea to goats is not evaluated so far. Therefore, a study was carried out on growing female Khari and Jamunapari and Barberi crosses at Agriculture Research Station (Goat), Bandipur, Tanahun. Twelve female kids (4 -Khari, 4 -Jamunapari cross and 4-Barberi cross) just after weaning of age five months with average body weight of 10.08 kg were selected for experiment (150 days) and were divided into two groups having six animals ( 2 animals of each breed) in each group by using Complete Randomized Design (CRD). Two types of concentrate mixture (urea and treated soybean cake incorporated) were formulated with 16% of crude protein content. Dry matter requirement was taken @ 4 kg per 100 kg body weight.
