Objectives

The experiment was planned to address the following questions:

1. What is the effect on milk yield of allocating all the Calliandra fed daily to indigenous dairy goats over a 30-day period early in lactation, with none fed over the next 30-day period, compared with half the amount fed on every day of the 60 day period? The latter diet is considered as the control diet.

2. What is the effect on milk yield of feeding a small amount of Calliandra every day versus that of feeding twice the amount for five days and none for five days over the 60-day period?
