dc.description.abstractfeeding trial was carried out for three months to assess the post-weaning growth, carcass traits and economics in Salem Black kids fed different levels of concentrate supplement (CS). Thirty-two weaned kids from a previous experiment were divided into four treatment groups namely Tt,T2, T3, and T4 (comprising four male and four females in each) at the age of three months. The kids of all groups were allowed for 6 h grazing daily. While the kids of Tt were not supplemented and served as a control, the kids of T2, T3 and T4 groups were offered CS at 1.5 2.0 and 2.5 per cent of BW, respectively. At the end of the feeding trial, four representative animals from each group were slaughtered for assessing the carcass traits. Results revealed that net BW gain and ADG were higher (P<0.01) in T3 and T4 groups as compared to the T1 group. The ADG recorded was 41.64, 46.61, 51. 47 and 58.45 g in T1, T2, T3, and T4 groups, respectively. When compared to Tt the ADG was 11.9, 23.6 and 40.4 per cent more in T2, T3 and T4 groups, respectively. Similarly, the CS-supplemented kids had better (P<0.01) carcass traits in terms of dressing percentage, loin eye area, carcass length. The weight of cut-up parts viz., leg, loin, rack were also higher (P<0.01) in CS-supplemented groups. Feeding of CS resulted in better economic returns. It is concluded that supplementation of CS at the rate of 2.5 per cent of BW during the post-weaning period improved the body weight gain, carcass traits and monetary returns in Salem Black kids.en_US
