ABSTRACT

For studying the effect of accelerated feeding method on growth and carcass traits thirty male kids (aged 30 -45 days) of Tellicherry breed were divided into two groups, control (C) and test (T) groups. The control group kids were fed with concentrate feed consisting of 15% crude protein (CP) and 75% Total Digestible Nutrient (TDN). The test group kids were fed with concentrate feed containing of 21% crude Protein (CP) and 75% Total Digestible Nutrient (TDN).  Significant (P< 0.01) increase in body weight in average total body weight gain and average daily body weight were observed in both groups. Cost of production per kg live weight gain significantly (P<0.0001) reduced. High significant difference (P< 0.01) was noticed in pre slaughter weight, carcass weight, dressed weight, dressing percentage, weight of stomach, head and liver. The present study concluded that feeding the kids with high protein level along with mineral mixure had significantly increased the body weight gain, growth performance, dressing percentage, carcass yield and quality.
