NB-21 variety of hybrid Napier (21.12% DM) was evaluated for proximate composition and nutrient utilization in goats. The fodder contained 11.62, 2.45, 64.67, 41.51, 0.49, and 0.17% of CP, EE, NDF, ADF, Ca, and P, respectively. Daily dry matter intake of goats was 270±7.17 g. DCP and TDN content of the fodder was 7.10 and 52.25%, respectively. The feeding of sole green fodder maintained the goats in positive nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus balance. NB-21 variety of hybrid Napier grass meets the digestible crude protein requirement of the goats for maintenance. Supplementary feed may be offered to bridge the deficit in energy requirement.
