Trial of young native crossbred of goats fattening in feeding-lot was conducted in randomized complete block design. Eighteen weaning goats averaging 12 kg body weight were divided into 3 groups wiht 6 replications. Each group was fed on fresh para-grass with the feed supplements ad libitum as followed: (1) cracked corn (2) 50 % cassava chip with 50 % rice bran and (3) 65 % cassava chip 15 % rice bran 20 % leaucaena leaf. The feeding trial lasted for 98 days. The result had shown that: there were no significant differences on average daily gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and carcass quality. For feed cost, the economic responses from group 1 which received cracked corn was higher than another groups. When considered total costs (include cost of animal and worker); found that the economic responses of fattening goats were all negative results. Feasible cash retum from goat fattening in feeding-lot should be improve breeding type of goat for highly perfomances
