2014
The present study was conducted to assess the effect of supplementation of herbal combinations on the growth and nutrient digestibility in Osmanabadi goats. Twenty four goats were divided into 3 groups of 8 goats in each group. The animals in all the three groups were fed with maize fodder and farm made concentrate mixture for 120 days except that animals in Group-II were supplemented with herbal combination (Zingiber officinale, Curcuma longa, Allium sativum, Aegle marmelo and Punica granatum) @ 500 g/tonne of feed and Group-III was supplemented with another herbal combination (Terminalia belerica, Andrographis paniculata, Terminalia chebula, Allium sativum and Coriander sativum) @ 500 g/tonne. It was concluded that supplementation of herbal combination increased dry matter intake, live body weight and digestibility of nutrients in goats.
