Abstract
An experiment of 90 days duration was carried out on fourteen adult goats to
study the effect of Solid State Fermentation Biomass on their digestibility and nutrient
utilization. In first phase, in vitro studies on effect of SSF biomass at different levels
on DM and OM digestibility revealed that in vitro ADMD, TDMD and OMD
increased in all SSF biomass supplemented TMRs compared to TMR without SSF
biomass. The in vitro ADMD (73.01%), TDMD (63.93%) and OMD (74.31%)
increase by 20.86 %, 31% and 20.34%, respectively, at 4% level SSF biomass (9000
IU/g CMCase and 3000 IU/g xylanase activity) in TMR. Hence was further evaluated
by in vivo experiment on goats. The SSF Biomass was supplemented in such a way
that it supplied 36000 IU CMCase /100g DM and 12000 IU xylanase /100g DM in
TMR. So that the level of enzyme supplementation remains uniform throughout the
experiment.
