Effect of supplementation of growth promoters on the feed intake performance of goat kids

Abstract

An experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of supplementation of growth promoters on the feed intake performance of goat kids. A sixteen goat kids were selected from the livestock instructional farm, on the basis of nearness to the age and weight. The selected kids were randomly divided in to 4 groups of 4 kids in each treatment. Treatments was control (T1) with Feed as per the standard, Feed as per standards + 3 g Lactobacillus acidophillusper Kg. (T2), Feed as per standards + 3 g Saccharomyces cerevisiae per Kg. (T3), and Feed as per standards + mixture of 1.5g Lactobacillus acidophilus + 1.5g Saccharomyces cerevisiae per Kg. (T4). Feed intake and dry matter intake is correlated to the performance of the goat kids.
