Conteúdo: 	Twenty-four local goats (12 male and 12 female), 7-10 months of age with mean body weight 10.3 +- 0.48 kg were assigned at random to two dietary treatments and were offered diets consisting of isonitrogenous concentrate mixtures based on ground maize and containing either deoiled peanut meal (DPNM) or urea-ammoniated neem kernel meal (UANKM), along with ad libitum green sorghum fodder for a 70-day period. The dietary treatment did not significantly influence the intake of dry matter, digestibility of various nutrients, average daily weight gain or feed efficiency. However, the digestibility of crude protein was depressed (p < 0.05) in goats fed UANKM diet. Use of UANKM diet reduced (p < 0.01) feed cost per unit liveweight gain by 20% compared with DPNM. Since UANKM supported a similar level of animal performance as compared to DPNM it can alleviate the shortage of vegetable protein in {growing countries}.
