Description An investigation was carried out to observe effect of replacing maize with ajar seed kernel (ASK) on the performance of Assam local goat kids. Assam local goat kids (20), 4–5 months of age, mean body wt.6 kg were randomly divided into G–1 (fed concentrate mixture containing maize as cereal grain), G–2, G–3, and G–4 (fed rations containing 25, 37.5 and 50% ASK, respectively replacing maize). All the groups received para grass ad lib. Feeding trial was continued for 91 days followed by a 7–day digestion trial. The average DMI/100 kg and per kg 0.75, daily gain and feed conversion ratio were 3.40±.50, 3.39±.23 kg; 60.03±0.63, 58.96±0.24 g/d; 32.11±0.64, 37.67±0.41 g; 7.40±0.08, 7.46±0.16 kg, respectively and significantly higher in 1 and 2 than other groups. Similarly digestibility of organic nutrients, energy and N-balance were higher in the corresponding groups. However, no significant difference was observed in dressing percentage. Overall observation revealed satisfactory performance of Assam local kids on feeding ajar seed kernel 25% replacing maize.
