The effect of substituting guar meal for groundnut cake on the growth performance of weaned Osmanabadi kids was the subject of the experiment. Twenty kids in all were chosen for the current study and divided into five treatments, each with four kids. The chosen goat kids for the experiment were divided into five groups: T1 (average age of three months and weight of twelve-five kg), T2 (average age of three months and weight of twelve-69 kg), T3 (average age of three months and weight of twelve-54 kg), T4 (average age of three months and weight of twelve-69 kg), and T5 (average age of three months and weight of twelve-84 kg), in that order. Treatment T1 is composed entirely of groundnut cake, while treatments T2, T3, T4, and T5 are composed of 25%, 50%, and 100% guar meal replacements, respectively. Use of a Complete Randomized Design was used for analysis. The growth performance in each treatment is not significantly different from the other, according to the results. The kids in treatment groups T1, T2, and T3 showed a substantially different total weight gain than groups T4 and T5. The experiment's findings demonstrated that the effects of the supplemented treatment were not statistically significant for live body weight, total weight gain, body length, body height, or chest circumference.

Guar meal, Growth performance, Blood parameters, Cost structure

There was no significant effect of body weight, body length, body height and chest girth of kids under different diets. From the present investigation it can be concluded that incorporation 50 per cent guar meal and 50 percent groundnut cake in concentrate diet is economical without affecting the growth of the kids.
