Abstract: Feed value and voluntary Dry Matter Intake (DMI) of different states (i.e. hay, wilted or fresh) of presentation of Rottboellia exaltata fed in combination with foliage of Flemingia microphylla was investigated. Three growing Anglo-Nubian x Fiji local goats (2 doelings and 1 buck) with pre-experimental body weight of 19.7�0.3 and 12-15 months old were used in a repeat randomized 3x3 Latin Square design. Three dietary treatments :- (i) R.. exaltata (hay) + F. macrophylla (ii) R.. exaltata (wilted) + F. macrophylla and; (iii) R.. exaltata (fresh) + F. macrophylla, designated as T1, T2 and T3 respectively were tested on goats for 28 days. The state of presentation of R. exaltata had effects on a nutrient content. Mean CP content of 14.3 % for all diets was high for goats. Fibre fractions (CF, NDF and ADF) of the diets were moderate and were not above levels that affect Dry Matter Intake (DMI). Voluntary feed intake was 408, 1167 and 1013 g/head/d and when expressed on a metabolic weight basis as g kg ¹W ^0.75/DM, DMI was 90.7, 199.6 and 182.5 g kg ¹ W^0.75/day. The state of presentation of R. exaltata significantly affected (p<0.05) DMI. DMI was low in T1 (p<0.05), however there was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the wilted and fresh in DMI. The goats on T1 had negative body weight change (BWC), while those on T2 and T3 had positive BWC. DM, CP, NDF, ADF, OM and energy digestibilities were significantly lower (p<0.05) in the goats in T1, however, there was no significant difference (p>0.05) between goats on T2 and T3. In vitro DM and OM degradabilities were low in the feeds i.e R..exaltata grass and F. macrophylla. Also In vitro DMD, OMD and ADFD were low in T1, T2 and T3. CP degradability was relatively high in T2 while NDFD was high in both T2 and T3. The state of presentation of R. exaltata grass with supplement of foliage of F. macrophylla had effect on voluntary DMI, daily protein and energy intakes, BWC, nutrients digestibility and In vitro enzymatic degradability. Based on voluntary DMI, nutritive value index, digestible CP and energy intakes, BWC; In vivo and In vitro digestibility, wilting seems to be the most effective method of processing the grass for goats in confinement. The high In vitro CPD observed in the foliage of F. macrophylla demonstrates low level of tannins. R. exaltata grass hay resulted in low animal performance and nutrient utilization even when supplemented with foliage of F. macrophylla. In conclusion it is suggested that the foliage of other legume/browse species be tested with R. exaltata grass hay.
