Description The study was designed to ascertain the effect of strategic use of condensed tannins (CT) through tanniferous treeleaves on nutrient utilization and growth in kids. Indigenous kids (18) were randomly divided into 3 groups of 6 each in a completely randomized design and fed 3 iso-nitrogenous diets to contain 0, 1.0 and 2.0% CT through a dried and ground leaf meal mixture of Ficus infectoria, Psidium guajava and Ficus bengalensis. The diets were designated as CT0, CT-1, and CT-2, respectively, and fed to kids on a basal diet of wheat straw to meet requirements for maintenance and growth. Blood-biochemical profile was monitored in all the kids at 0, 40, 80 and 120 days of feeding. The average daily growth rate and feed conversion ratio for 120 days showed a significant linear increase by supplementation of CT up to 2.0% of diet through leaf meal mixture. Though supplementation of CT up to 1.0% of diet did not interfere with the nutrient intake or digestibility, a depressing effect on DM and OM digestibility at 2.0% CT level was apparent without any detrimental effect on intake. DCP and TDN values of the composite diets were decreased significantly (linear, P
