Abstract

Two trials were conducted at the Seção de Ovinos e Caprinos, in the Instituto de Zootecnia, Nova Odessa, Estado de São Paulo, with the objective to measure the viability and levels of dried ramie residue to feeding goats. In the first trial 8 milk goats of the anglonubian breed were randomized in a 4x4 latin square design. Dried ramie residue was included in four levels in substitution of pangola grass hay: 0, 25, 50 and 75%, considered as dry matter in the roughage. The second trial was a completely randomized design with 16 male kids averaging 180 days of age receiving four levels of dried ramie residue in substitution to pangola grass hay: 0, 34, 66 and 100%. Weight gain and daily consumption of dry matter, crude fiber, crude protein and gross energy did not differed statistically in both trials (P >0.05). The same was not true with milk production in trial I. It was observed the highest milk production at 29% level of dried ramie residue in roughage (P <0.007). The cost of feeding was lower at increasing dried ramie residue levels due to lower levels of protein source as soybean meal in the diets.
