Effect Of Rice Stover And Cocoyam Leaf Supplement Diets On Changes In Body Traits Of Growing Female West African Dwarf Goats

 ABSTRACT A 90-day experiment was conducted to determine the effects of Rice stover, Cocoyam leaf and their combination (50:50) as crop residue-based supplement diets on the growth performance and morphometric traits of WAD goats.
