Growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat yield of Boer goats fed diets containing leaves and whole parts of Andrographis paniculata
The study was conducted to determine the effect of feeding diets containing Andrographis paniculata leaves (APL), whole Andrographis paniculata plant (APWP) and a control without Andrographis paniculata (AP0), on growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat yield of 24 intact Boer bucks.
