Conteúdo: 	The selected 18 crossbred goats (Alpine .times. Beetal, Saanan .times. Beetal and Alpine .times. Saanan .times. Beetal) were distributed into 3 groups of 6 each. Group A was fed according to Morrison's standard for sheep. Group B was fed on 15% more TDN [total digestible N] and group C was fed 30% more TDN than the control animals. Lucerne was fed as sole roughage. Growth efficiency was 7.03%, 7.06 and 7.51%, respectively. TDN consumption per kg gain in weight was 7.29, 7.11 and 6.87 kg and dry matter required per kg gain was 9.38, 8.20 and 6.92 kg in group A, B and C, respectively. Young goats (6-9 mo. of age) utilized feed more efficiently even at a higher level of nutrition. Thirty percent more TDN over standard ration resulted in the best utilization of nutrients during this period. Growth efficiency in various groups reflected the nutrient required during a particular time interval to produce energy in the form of body gain (meat) and the corresponding cost of maintenance. Since animals with maximum production efficiency of feed conversion return maximum profits to the farmers, young animals of 6-9 mo. of age may be fed with 30% more energy over Morrison's standards for sheep to optimize growth efficiency and economy under stall fed conditions.
