| Abstract | This experiment aimed to evaluate the effects of supplementing chaya foliage (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius)on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, and growth performance of crossbred Anglo-Nubian male goats. The fifteengoats, one year of age, with an initial average body weight of 17.0 ? 1.0 kg, were assigned to three dietary treatmentswith five replications each, following a completely randomized design (CRD). All goats were offered corn silagead libitum as the basal roughage, and treatments consisted of supplementing chaya foliage at three levels: T1 =control (0%), T2 = 3%, and T3 = 6% (DM basis), in combination with pelleted concentrate containing 14% crudeprotein. Prior to the experiment, goats underwent a 10-day adaptation period. During the trial, animals were fedindividually twice daily at 06:30 and 16:30, with free access to clean water. The experimental period lasted 90 days.The results showed that dry matter intake (DMI, g/d), crude protein (CP), and ether extract (EE) intakes weresignificantly increased (p<0.05). Goats in T2 had the highest intakes (1693.2, 112.6, and 76.0 g/d, respectively),which were greater than those in T3 (1514.6, 102.0, and 72.7 g/d, respectively). Nutrient digestibility of DM, CP,and ADF also differed significantly (p<0.05) compared with the control group. Regarding growth performance,goats supplemented with chaya foliage showed significantly improved body weight gain (p<0.05). In particular,goats in the highest supplementation group (6%) achieved an average daily gain of 23.5 g/day, indicating thepotential of chaya |
