The objective of this present study was to evaluate the productive performance and carcass traits of kids goats receiving rations containing four ratios of concentrate and roughage using the Elephant grass in natura chopped as roughage. The ratios evaluated were: 80:20; 60:40; 40:60 and 20:80% of concentrate and roughage in dry matter basis of rations. Twenty eight Saanen male goats with 9.3 kg of initial body weight distributed in four groups with seven animals in collective pens were used. The experimental design adopted was a completely randomized with seven replicates. The increase of concentrate in rations promoted higher average daily gain, final body weight, total weight gain. Besides, there were obtained higher hot and cold carcass weight and dressing using highest concentrate levels. Thus, technically is viable the use of high concentrate based rations for finishing male goats. However, the concentrate to be used depends to bioeconomic performance promoted.
