Description The present study was conducted to determine the nutritive value of fresh brewer’s grain (FBG) and its optimum level of inclusion in the diet of lactating murrah buffaloes as a replacement for concentrate and karad hay. This objective was achieved by studying the lactational performance (milk yield and composition of nutrients) and digestibility of nutrients after incorporation of FBG in their diet. The study comprised of two lactation trials. In lactation trial 1, there were three treatments groups viz. T1, T2 and T3, with FBG replacing compounded feed mixture at 0, 25 and 50 per cent levels respectively. Lactation trial 2 comprised three treatment groups viz. T1, T2 and T3, with FBG replacing karad hay at 0, 25 and 50 per cent levels respectively. Lactation trials were followed by digestion trials to assess the digestibility of nutrients. In addition, FBGand karad hay were subjected to rumen fermentation experiments to assess the efficiency of microbial biomass synthesis. It was concluded that FBG can substitute fifty per cent of the CFM or fifty per cent of karad hay forage in the diet of lactating murrah buffaloes. The milk yield and milk composition was unaffected when CFM was replaced by FBG, whereas, when substituted for karad hay FBG diets also improved milk yield and milk composition in terms of SNF, protein and lactose (P
