Abstract
In a 12 week experiment, ten growing six months old Baladi goat kids (five males and five females) of an average initial body weight of 8.93 Kg were fed a ration of 63.26% TDN and 8.05% DCP. Initial and final body composition was estimated using the Antipyrine space method to calculate the energy and protein requirements for growth
Energy and protein requirements for growth of indigenous goats (Baladi) were found to be 11.29 kcal ME and 0.6 g DCP per gram body weight gain for males and
13.47 kcal ME and 0.72 g DCP for females with average values of 12.38 kcal ME and 0.66 g DCP/g daily gain. These values were higher than 7.25 kcal ME and 0.195 g DCP per gram body weight gain as suggested by the NRC (1981)
