The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of Kacang goats fed complete feed containing different ratios of rice straw silage and concentrate. Twelve male Kacang goats aged between 1 and 1.5 years, with an average initial body weight of 16.9 kg (CV 22.85%) was used in this research, arranged in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of three treatments and three replications. The treatments were: R1 = (60% rice straw silage: 40% concentrate), R2 = (50% rice straw silage : 50% concentrate), and R3 = (40% rice straw silage : 60% concentrate). The parameters measured included animal performance, feed intake, nutrient digestibility, and rumen fluid characteristics. The results showed that average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio, intake and digestibility of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), as well as rumen fluid characteristics, were not significantly affected (P>0.05) by the treatments. It was concluded that feeding complete feed with different ratios of rice straw silage and concentrate resulted in similar effects on performance, feed intake, nutrient digestibility, and rumen fluid characteristics of male Kacang goats.
