Abstract
Kenaf Hibiscus cannabinus which is grown widely for its high quality fibre is potential protein forage for ruminant livestock. Crude protein and fibre contents of young Kenaf harvested at 6 weeks and their digestibilities are similar to that of alfalfa hay. Substituting soybean meal protein with Kenaf up to 50 did not affect growth performance and carcass dressing percentage of growing goats and milk yield and milk quality of lactating goats.
