Extract

Earlier investigations have been carried out with Raini goat for maximizing the ruminal microbial protein production by determining the requirement of the dietary ERDN:S ratio. Adding a supplement which contains high level of undegradable protein (UDP) may improve the animal performance, due to the increase the of the amino acids concentration in the small intestine (Orskov, 1992). Therefore, this trial was conducted to maximize the potentiality of the growth performance and carcass characteristics of this breed by adding a protein supplement, fish meal (FM), which contains a high percent of undegradable protein.
