Abstract

Six Beetai crossbred bucks (10–12 m; 14.82 kg) were fed exclusively on Ghoraneem tree leaves (just before flowering) containing 18.96 CP, 3.20 EE, 11.60 CF, 55.78 NFE, 10.50 Ash, 2.94 Ca and 0.25 P on per cent DM basis. Animals consumed 3.34 kg DM per 100 kg live weight The nutritive value of Ghoraneem leaves in terms of DCP and TDN were 13.09 and 65.37 per cent, respectively. The voluntary intake of DM, DCP and TDN was found to be adequate to meet the maintenance requirements of bucks.
