Abstract

Goat production in tropical areas faces significant challenges due to seasonal forage scarcity and high feed costs, necessitating alternative feed resources. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel meal supplementation on the digestibility and fermentability of male goat rations in vitro. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design with five supplementation levels: R0 (0%), R1 (5%), R2 (10%), R3 (15%), and R4 (20%) using a basal diet of Taiwan Napier grass and concentrate. The parameters evaluated included in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD), total volatile fatty acids (total VFAs) concentration, and rumen ammonia-nitrogen (NH3). The results showed that the treatments significantly affected (P
