The research was carried out in goat farm Mezadruvas-1. A total of 20 goats were used in feeding trial to determine the effect of pea seeds on goats milk yield and in milk composition. Adding of pea seeds and galega seeds in feed ration led to optimization of feed ration and better utilization of feed nutrients. For producing of 1 kg of milk goats consumed 0.64 - 0.75 feed units and 62.7 - 72.2 g digestible protein. The biggest milk yield (3.30 kg milk per day) and more by 16.2% compare to milk yield of the 1st control group was produced by goats of the 2nd trial group, where in goats diet had included galega seeds. The highest increasing of milk fat and protein content during trial period (respectively by 8.6% and 9.6%) was in 2nd trial group, where goats were fed with galega seeds additives. The use of galega seeds in diet of goats resulted in higher amount of Cu, Mn and Fe (respectively by 7.5%, 163% and 7.9 to control), small amount of Zn and Mg (respectively by 22.1% and 1.6% to control).
