Description  Use of dried distillers grains with solubles as feed in ruminant. rDDGS is cheap (economical protein, energy substitute) and easilyavailable and also reduce the negative impact on environment. Present study was conducted to determine the effect of feeding varying levels of rice dried distiller grains (rDDGS) on growth performance, FCR and BCS of Barbary goats. Twenty-four Barbari goats of 1-2 year age were randomly allocated into 4 groups on average body weight basis (Control, T1, T2, and T3) having 6 animals in each group. The Barbari goats fed with basal diet comprises wheat straw (particle size- 1.5 to 2.0 cm), chaffed green maize fodder and compounded concentrate mixture at a ratio of 20:30:50. Concentrate mixture was prepared by mixing barley grain, wheat grain, oat grain, wheat bran, gram chunni, mustard oil cake and mineral mixture in 20, 20, 10, 10, 10, 28 and 2 parts, respectively Control group of animals were fed with basal diet, Whereas, T1, T2 and T3 groups of animals were fed with basal diet supplemented with of 10%, 20% and 30% of rDDGS on dry matter basis, respectively. For the period of 90 days. All the Barbari goats were weight fortnightly. Among the groups dietary rDDGS supplementation did not affect body weight, but fortnightly body weight gain, average daily gain, dry matter intake (kg)/ 100kg BW and body condition score affect significantly (P>0.05) in all the groups. In T2 group fortnightly body weight, ADG and BCS significantly highest than other groups. It may be concluded that, supplementation of rDDGS having 20 % inclusion level on DM basis in Barbari goats improved growth performance without any adverse effect.
