A mixed concentrate diet was replaced by graded levels of dried moringa foliage in growing Black Bengal goats and dry matter intake, digestibility and nutrient utilization and the growth performances were determined. Thirty growing male goats were divided into five groups with six animals in each group. The five dietary treatments consisted of varying proportions of moringa foliage (MF) and concentrate (C), namely, T1 (100MF: 0C), T2 (75MF:25C), T3 (50MF:50C), T4 (25MF: 75C) and T5 (0MF:100C). The experiment was arranged in completely randomized design. All the five diets contain similar level of crude protein (average CP 18.3±0.09%) and metabolizable energy (average ME 10.96±0.19).The intake of dry matter and CP of goats on diet T1 (100% moringa) differed significantly (p 0.05) among the diets. Nitrogen retention was significantly higher (P<0.01) in goats fed withT1, T2orT3 diet than those fed with T4orT5 diet. Highest average daily live weight gain was found in goats fed with T2 diet while the lowest (P<0.05) was found in goats fed with T5 diet. It was concluded that moringa foliage may be a replacer of conventionally mixed concentrate for feeding Bengal male goats.
