Abstract
Eighteen dairy Damascus goats weighing 38-45 kg live body weight and aged 3-4 years were divided into 3 groups according to their body weight, 6 goats in each group. Yellow corn grain in the concentrate feed mixture was replaced with mango seeds (MS) at levels of 0% MS in group 1 (G1, control), 20% MS in group 2 (G2), and 40% MS in group 3 (G3). The digestibility coefficients of the organic matter, dry matter, crude fiber, crude protein, ether extract, nitrogen-free extract, and total digestible nutrients increased (P
