To study the growth performance and nutrient utilization in different breeds of goat in the plain agro climatic zone of Chhattisgarh total 15 kids 5 each of Jamunapri, Barbari and Sirohi of 4-5 months age were grouped into three. The kids were raised by semi intensive method, they were allowed for 4-5 hrs grazing in the morning and concentrate mixture was fed @ 100, 150 and 200 g/d for 1st, 2nd and 3rd month respectively. The average daily gain was recorded maximum in Jamunapari (47.50 g) and minimum in Sirohi (39.30 g) however the variation was not significant amongst the breed. The digestibility of CP was significantly (P<0.05) high in Jamunapari (72.17%) and Barbari (70.52%) as compare to Sirohi (65.17%). The digestibility of CF, EE and NFE was significantly (P<0.05) high in Jamunapari as compare to Sirohi. The N retention % was significantly (P<0.05) high in Jamunapari and Barbari goat as compare to Sirohi. The retention % of P was significantly (P<0.05) high in Jamunapari as compare to Sirohi. It is concluded that the growth performance and efficiency of nutrient utilization is better in Jamunapari and Barbari breed as compare to Sirohi in plain region of Chhattisgarh.
