Abstract

Khanyum (Ficus cunia) leaves sontained CP 15.53, CF 18.65, EE 2.56, NFE 52.96, TA 10.30, Ca 2.40 and P 0.24 percent on DM basis. Five adult local goats (24-26m; 20.64±1.02kg) were fed on fresh Khanyun leaves ad libitum for 26d. The voluntary DM intake was 2.21+0.16kg per 100kg body weight. The leaves contained 8.07±0J0 percent DCP and 46.85±2.20 percent TDN. Marginally negative P balance indicated that KTanyun ieaves need to be supplemented with other P rich feeds to meet the maintenance needs of goats.
