Abstract
Total 25 animals with average weight of 20+2 kg and ~6 month age were selected and randomly divided into five groups (five animals each) under CRD. Each group was supplemented with growth promoters viz, ionophores (ION), essential oils (EO), yeast product (YP) and bacterial culture (BC) and one group served as control (C). The duration of the experiment was 70 days. The animals were reared in individual stalls under same conditions. Iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous pelleted rations were offered adlibitum. Data were collected on daily feed intake and fortnightly weight gain. Blood samples were collected at start and end of experiment to get data on blood metabolites. Grabbed fecal sample from rectum were collected to determine the digestibility using markers (AIA) in last 10 days of study. Data collected were subjected to statistical analysis in R software. Average daily gain was significantly higher in YP (110.57 g/day) followed by BC (92 g/day) and was lowest in control group (71.72 g/day). Average daily feed intake was highest (547.9 g) in control and lowest in BC (477.1g). Feed conversion ratio and digestibility were affected significantly by treatments with best results by YP (4.82 and 72.35 %) followed by BC (5.19 and 65.26 %). Other groups ION and EO showed same results but were different significantly (P<0.001) from control group. It is concluded that growth promoters have valuable effects on performance of male Beetal goats reared under high input feeding system.
