Abstract
For 98 days. 28 male 8alady kids, 5 - 6 months old and average live body weight 15.77 kg were randomly distributed according to body weight to 4 groups, and fed on complete pelleted rations containing 0, 11, 22 and 33% (of OM) dehydrated grape marc (GM) instead of clover hay. Rations were fed individually ad-libitum. The results indicated that, the inclusion of GM in rations of growing kids decreased average daily gain, feed conversion ratio, but differences were not significant. Feeding ration contained 22 and 33% GM decreased (P<O.01) apparent digestibility, N retention and dressing percentage (P<O.01), while kids fed on 11 % GM was better. Carcass characteristics showed higher proportion of lean and fat percentage for animals of control and 11 % GM, than those fed 22 or 33% GM. Chemical composition of 9, 10 and 11 th rib showed that protein and ether extract percentages on OM basis was significantly (P<O.01) lower in lean meat of kids fed on ration contained 33% GM, than those of kids fed on control ration or rations contained 11 and 22% GM, respectively. It is concluded that, dehydrated grape marc can replace in complete ration by 11 or 22% (of OM) instead of clover hay for feeding growing kids.
