Abstract
A growth experiment of 90 days (13 weeks) duration was carried out on
fourteen Surti kids to study the effect of feeding SSF biomass on growth performance.
The kids under control group (T1) were fed jowar straw based TMR (50:50) without
SSF biomass whereas the kids under treatment group (T2) were fed jowar straw based
TMR with SSF biomass @ 4%. The nutrient requirements of kids in term of DCP and
TDN were met as per ICAR (1998) feeding standards.
In vitro studies on effect of SSF biomass at different levels on DM and OM
digestibility revealed that in vitro DMD and OMD increased in all SSF biomass
supplemented TMRs compared to TMR without SSF biomass. The highest in vitro
DMD (64.41%) and OMD (65.42%) were observed at 4% level SSF biomass in TMR.
