Abstract: Six upgraded goats were used in this Study to determine which level of ipil-ipil leaves and napier grass combined with concentrate will give the maximum positive effect to the growth of goats. The goats waugroupegainto three, which served as three treatments. Each Treatment was replicated twice with one goat in each replicate. Goats in Treatment I were given 75% ipil-ipil leaves and 25% napier grass. A mixture of 50% ipil-ipil leaves and 50% napier grass was fed to goats in Treatment II, while goats in Treatment III were given 25% ipil-ipil leaves and 75% napier grass. Concentrate was supplemented at the rate of 0.50 kg per goat per day in all Treatments. Average gain in weight of_goats was highest in Treat-ment III having 7629.44grams followed 'by the goats in Treat-ment II with 4670 grams and goats in Treatment I with 3780 grams. The average dry matter intake was highest in Treat-ment II having 62785.8 grams, compared to the goats in Treat-ment I with 59314.08 grams and goats in Treatment III with 58594.10 grams. At the end of the study, goats in Treatment III had the best feed efficiency with 7.68 grams followed by the goats in Treatments. I ,Liad II with 12.70 and 16.61 grams, respectively. Insignificant differences were observed in the average gain in weight of goats from second to twelfth week although significant at the fourteenth and sixteenth week. Likewise, no significant difference was observed on the feed efficiency of goats from the second up to the sixteenth week although significant at the fourteenth week. On the other hand, however, significant differences were observed in the average dry matter intake of goats throughout the duration of the experiment except on the tenth week, w!lich was found to be insignificant.
