Abstract
The aim of the present trial was to assess an herbal blend as additive on the performance and in vivo digestibility of producing Saanen goats. In the trial nine goats in the middle of production, individually caged were used to evaluate the effect of the addition of an herbal mixture (Fortimax®; 0, 0.5 and 1.0 kg ton-1) to the concentrate. The herbal mix increased the daily feed intake as well as the milk yield (plus 36.74 and 24% with 0.5 and 1 kg ton-1; p<0.05) with no effect on milk nutrient concentration (p>0.05) but slightly affected their daily yield. On the other hand, the nutrients total tract digestibility was no affected (p>0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that with the addition of an herbal blend to the concentrate there is an improvement on the productivity of the dairy goat without affecting digestibility.
