    High-lactating dairy goats require a substantial amount of protein. Protected protein supplements could provide a significant quantity of rumen undegradable protein (RUP), ensuring an adequate protein supply for high-lactating dairy goats. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of protected protein supplements on the productivity of Etawah crossbred dairy goats. The study involved 16 Etawah crossbred lactating goats with an average milk production of 0.94 ± 0.38 L head-1 day-1 and an average body weight of 46.80 ± 7.50 kg. A randomized block design of four treatments and four replications was used. The treatment ration were: R0= a ration with 0% protected protein supplement content as control, R1= R0 + 5% protected pro-tein supplement, R2= R0 + 10% protected protein supplement, and R3= R0 + 15% protected protein sup-plement. Data was analyzed using ANOVA and continued to the Duncan test. The results showed that the R1, R2, and R3 treatments significantly (P<0.05) influenced the increase in feed intake, milk production, milk component production, milk urea nitrogen, and blood urea nitrogen. However, no significant effect was observed on milk quality, milk density, blood hematology, blood glucose, triglycerides, or economic factors. It can be concluded that adding a 5% protected protein supplement improved the performance of Etawah crossbred dairy goats without compromising milk quality and animal health. Manuscript profile
