Twenty-four mature newly freshened Nubian goats were selected from the flock of the Animal Production Research Center (Kuku) and were divided into two equal groups based on live weight and age and assigned to two diets (molasses or sorghum base diets). Each group was further subdivided to three groups of 4 animals each group was further subdivided to three groups of 4 animals each according to date of birth. The results indicated that treatment has no effect on milk yield, milk composition, live weight changes and feed intake. However the sorghum fed group maintained a record of 33% increase in FCM while the molasses fed group showed 10% live weight loss compared to 6% in the sorghum fed group. The molasses ration used in this study was found more profitable than sorghum ration
