dc.description.abstractThe present research work entitled “Impact of Creep Feed and Green fodder on Growth Performance in Pre-weaned Suckling Sirohi Goat Kids” was carried out to study the impact of creep feed and moringa green fodder (MGF) on growth performance of kids in terms of body weight gain and morphometric measurements. Twenty four Sirohi goat kids of one month of age were randomly selected and divided into four treatment groups of each having six kids at the Goat Unit of S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner. Treatment T1 served as control), treatment T2 supplemented with 1.0 per cent of body weight of creep feed, Treatment T3 supplemented with 1.0 per cent of body weight of creep feed with MGF ad-lib and treatment T4 supplemented with 1.5 per cent of body weight of creep feed with MGF ad-lib feed for one month to four months of age and Groundnut straw fed ad-lib to all kids during whole experimental period. All kids were allowed to suckle their mother milk during morning and evening. Other management practices were similar for each treatment. Body weight of kids and other morphometric parameters viz., body length, wither height, paunch girth, heart girth and loin width of kids was observed fortnightly. Treatment T4 fed higher level of creepfeed with MGF achieved the highest (111.48 g/day) average daily weight gain followed by T3 (104.63 g/day), T2 (92.41 g/day) and control treatment T1 (53.70 g/ day). Highest average total weight gain per kid was recorded in treatment T4 (10.03 kg) followed by T3 (9.42 kg), T2 (8.31kg) and least found in control treatment T1 (4.83 kg). The overall increase in body length, wither height, paunch girth, heart girth and loin width was highest in T4, followed by T3, T2 and control treatment T1. The difference between treatments for average body weight gain, daily weight gain, body length, wither height, paunch girth, heart girth and loin width was significant. The correlation coefficient of body weight with morphometric measurements was highly positive. It is concluded from the results that there was significant increase in fortnightly weight gain and other morphometric measurements of kids supplemented with higher level of creep feed with MGF in diet.
