        This experimental trial was conducted to study the effects of dried poultry dropping based diets on the dry matter intake, live weight changes, nutrient digestibility and N-balanceof Konkan Kanyal goats. Thirty Konkan Kanyal goats aged between 9-12 months and with average weight of 13.66 kg were used in a randomized block design (RBD) experiment. The experimental goats were randomly assigned to five treatments (TI-T5). T1 were goats fed with 0% dried poultry droppings based diets (DPDBD), T2 were fed with 20% dried poultry droppings based diets (DPDBD), T3 were fed with 40% dried poultry droppings based diets (DPDBD), T4 were fed with 60% dried poultry droppings based diets (DPDBD), T5 were fed with 80% dried poultry droppings based diets (DPDBD). Mean dry matter intake (kg) was higher in treatment groups supplemented with dried poultry droppings based diet T2, (572.99&plusmn;18.12), T3, (614.09&plusmn;27.76), T4, (605.37&plusmn;32.79), T5 (619.24&plusmn;9.15) in comparison to the control treatment group T1, (571.47&plusmn;28.86). The final live body weight (kg) was significantly (P&lt;0.05) higher in T5 (19.4&plusmn;1.27) than T1 (14.72&plusmn;1.02), T2 (15.45&plusmn;0.88), T3 (16.03&plusmn;0.48) and slightly higher than T4(18.28&plusmn;1.19). Similarly in feed conversion efficiency T5 (9.0&plusmn;0.28) and (8.34&plusmn;0.44) T4 performed significantly (P&lt;0.05) better compared to other treatment groups: T3 (3.53&plusmn;0.29), T2 (2.88&plusmn;0.48) and T1 (2.89&plusmn;0.34). Nutrient digestibility was significantly higher (P&lt;0.05) in T5 in all parameters measured, N-balance was positive across the treatment groups with significant differences across the board. The results of this study suggests that feeding of dried poultry droppings based diets up to 80% inclusion to Konkan Kanyal goats consuming finger millet straw as basal diet would improve the feed value and give satisfactorily performance. تفاصيل المقالة
