摘要
The effect of browse supplementation on maize husk (Zea mays) utilization by goats was studied in a 12 week feeding and 2 week digestibility trial. Twenty-four goats were stratified according to their weight, and then randomly allocated to four treatments. Browse supplementation significantly increased (P < 0.05) the total dry matter intake. diet dry matter digestibility and diet organic matter digestibility (P < 0.05) but did not have any significant effect on acid detergent fibre digestibility (P > 0.05). The browse supplemented goats gained more weight than the non browse supplemented goats.
