Abstract: Freshly-grated Coconut Meat (FGCM) and Rice Bran (RB) combined with Napier grass were utilized to compare the growth performance of goats fed with fine forage and legumes roughages. Twenty-seven doeling goats were used in the study, and fed with 0%, 10% and 15% levels of Freshly-grated Coconut Meat and Rice Bran plus roughage in the rations. The Twofactor factorial experiment in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications were used to analyze the gathered data. The results showed that there was a significant difference among the type feed, the intake of FGCM and RB, and total dry matter intake are efficient for the diet of the goats. This is an implication that feed for this kind of livestock using the abovementioned raw materials are feasible, and available.
