Abstract: The growth performance and nutrient utilization of eighteen preweaned crossbred (Beetal X Assam Hill Goat) kids was studied for two months, which were randomly divided into three groups (n=6) and offered ad lib diet containing Soybean meal (T1), Ground nut cake (T2) and Til oil cake (T3). Body weight gain were significantly (P<0.05) higher in T1 and T2 as compared to T3 group. Significant (P<0.05) difference was observed in feed conversion ratio between T1 and T3 group. No significant difference was found in dry matter intake (DMI) per 100 kg body weight and per kg metabolic body weight; however, highly significant (P<0.0001) difference was observed in total DMI and digestibility co-efficient between T1 and T2 and T1 and T3 group. The digestibility coefficient of CP was significantly (P<0.0001) differed among the groups except organic matter and nitrogen free extract. Hence, soybean meal can be incorporated in the diet of preweaned crossbred kids for better performance and economic advantage.
