Abstract

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding different levels of Sargassum angustifolium on the growth performance and some blood indices of adani native goat kids. In this study, 24 native male goat kids with 15.6 ± 2.3 kg and 6 months old in a completely randomized design with three levels of Sargassum angustifolium and 8 replicates, 75 days were used. Experimental groups were fed with Sargassum angustifolium for 75 days and the control group was fed with basal diet during this period. The present results showed a significant increase were observed in final weight (FW) and weight gain (WG) in treatment groups compared with control (P<0.05). The percentage use of Sargassum angustifolium had a significant effect on the carcass yield of goat kids (P<0.05). blood factors changes in different experimental periods, did not show any significant difference between treatment groups compared with control (p>0.05). Finally, the present results suggested that Sargassum angustifolium can be used as an unusual feed for up to 20% of the feedstuff for adani goat kids.
