AB  - The aim of this study was to recognize the palatability of 
  Ground Cinnamon (GS) treated Oil Palm Decanter Meal (OPDM) on goats. Goats were 
  placed in an individual cage attached with 3 separated adjustable feed containers. 
  It was spent for adaptation period of 7 days to familiarize animal with the 
  experimental feed. Then all animals were offered with three alternatives feed 
  namely RS as a standard feed, untreated OPDM (UDM) and GS treated OPDM (GDM) 
  over a 15 days experimental period. The chemical composition including ash, 
  Organic Matter (OM), Crude Protein (CP), Ether Extract (EE), Neutral Detergent 
  Fiber (NDF) and Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) of both GDM and UDM was not significantly 
  different (p&gt;0.05) among experimental feed. Intakes on day 1 and average 
  on day 5, 10 and 15 were significantly different (p&lt;0.05) among four different 
  experimental feeds. After removing of RS on day 5, intake of GDM significantly 
  (p&lt;0.05) increased and be the highest in comparison with UDM and NG. In conclusion, 
  the chemical composition of GDM was not different from that of UDM therefore 
  GDM could be used as animal feed. GDM could be accepted as edible feed for goat 
  as it was higher intake of than that of UDM.
