The present research was undertaken to study the eighteen Osmanabadi does of one half and 2 years of age were randomly selected and divided into 3 groups, 6 in each group on the basis of body weight and age. The groups were fed with treatment (T₁) contents 50 per cent DCP from green Maize fodder + 50 per cent DCP from Concentrate mixture + ad lib Sorghum kadbi, (T₂) 50 per cent DCP from green Marvel grass + 50 per cent DCP from Concentrate mixture + ad lib Sorghum kadbi and (T₃) 50 per cent DCP from green DHN-6 fodder + 50 per cent DCP from Concentrate mixture + ad lib Sorghum kadbi. It was concluded that the monthly body weights and monthly gain in body weights was numerically higher in does fed with DHN-6 fodder. The dry matter (DM), digestible crude protein (DCP) and total digestible nutrient (TDN) intake was significantly higher in group fed with DHN-6 fodder than group fed with marvel grass and maize fodder. The higher nutrient digestibility was observed in does fed with DHN-6 fodder than rest of all treatments.
