Present study was carried out to observe the effect of silage feeding on body growth and confirmation of Tapri male goat raised under the intensive housing management system. This study was performed at the Livestock Experimental Station, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam. For this purpose, twelve Tapri male goat kids of six months age were purchased from local market and divided into two groups, each group contains six kids. (Group A was fed with fresh maize grass and Group B was fed with maize feeding silage). After completion of 2 months trail results was collected and analyzed. The result for weekly weight gain statistical analysis showed that non-significant (P≥0.05) difference between groups from 1 st to 4 th week. However, showed significant (P≤0.05) effect was recorded from fifth week to eight week of age, respectively. Final weight was also significantly higher in B group when compared with A group. Statistical analysis showed non-significant (P≥0.05) difference between the groups from 1 st , to 5 th week. However, significant (P<0.05) effect was recorded from six week to eight week of age, respectively. Data indicated that minim girth was recorded in group A than group B during first week. Similar trend was observed till eight weeks of age. Statistical analysis showed non-significant (P≥0.05) difference between the groups from 1 st , to 4 th week. However, significant (P<0.05) effect was recorded from fifth week to eight week of age, respectively. Maximum net profit was earned from B group than A group. It is concluded that goat kids of group B were fed maize silage showed better body growth and more economical values as compared group A were fed fresh maize.
