Abstract:

The objectives of the current study were to study the growth performance in response to various growth promoters in male goats under the high input feeding system and to investigate the ruminal changes (pH, NH3-N balance & protozoan growth), carcass quality and blood analysis in response to various growth promoters. Total twelve Beetal crossbred male goats with an average body weight of 15±2 kg and approximately 9 months age were randomly selected into monensin (G1), yeast (G2) and control (C) groups. The duration of the study was 70 days including 10 days of adjustment period. The animals were reared on iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous total mixed ration (TMR). The result were shown that average daily gain (ADG) was significantly (P<0.05) increased for G1 treatment (121 g/day) as compared to other treatments. Average daily feed intake (ADFI) was meaningfully affected by the treatments (P<0.01). The FCR was significantly (P<0.01) improved in G1 and G2 group. The cost benefit ratio was significantly (P<0.05) lowest in G1 group (347.4) than other groups. The rumen protozoa number has significantly (P>0.01) highest in monensin group followed by yeast. The G1 (0.86) and G2 (0.82) were significantly (P> 0.05) improved coefficient of digestibility than the control (0.77) because increased ammonia nitrogen balance which resulted in increase protozoa number, probably decreased in CH4 production and increased nutrient availability. The result were shown that there were no significant (P>0.05) difference on slaughter traits except dressing percentage and hot carcass weight that was significantly (P<0.05) affected and much came better result under G1 treatment (42.96%) followed by yeast (41.90) and least in control (36.78%) group. There was non-significant (P>0.05) effect of the growth promoters on the serum ALT, serum glucose, creatinine, serum cholesterol, and blood urea nitrogen except serum albumin and serum cholestrol. Serum albumin was (P= 0.01) and serum cholesterol was (P<0.05) significant. Addition of monensin has significantly improved the growth performance of the animals reared under high input feeding in current study and it has little more benefit than the yeast addition.
