Nine early growing Korean native goats were assigned in a randomized design to one of three diets containing of alfalfa hay(60%); alfalfa hay diet, alfalfa hay(30%) plus acacia wood chip(30%); acacia wood chip 50% diet, and acacia wood chip(60%); acacia wood chip 100% diet, of total ration to determine the nutritional value of acacia wood chip as a roughage source. Total mixed diet containing 60% roughages(alfalfa hay or acacia wood chip) and 40% concentrate were fed individually for 3 weeks. The daily gain, dry matter (DM) intake and apparent digestibilities of DM, energy and nutrients were determined. DM intake and daily gain were higher for goats fed alfalfa hay diet(637.8g/d and 54.1 g) than for goats fed acacia wood chip 50% diet(620.6g/d and 44.2g) and wood chip 100% diet(579.4g/d and 42.4g), however, those were not statistically different between groups(P$gt;0.05). Apparent digestibilities of DM, energy, and nitrogen were higher for goats fed alfalfa hay diet(73.00%, 72.03% and 77.32%) than for goats fed acacia wood chip 50% diet(64.75%, 61.90% and 64.75%) and wood chip 100% diet(58.33%, 54.77% and 58.77%)(P$lt; 0.05). Apparent digestibilities of fiberous components were higher for goats fed alfalfa hay diet(54.17%, 63.73% and 56.74%) than goats fed acacia wood chip 50% diet(42.08%, 51.79% and 44.64%) and acacia wood chip 100% diet (41.55%, 48.93% and 26.55%) (P$lt;0.05). However, those were not statistically different between acacia wood chip 50% diet and wood chip 100% diet. It could be concluded that acacia wood chip including leaves harvested during the summer could be a valuable roughage source for early growing Korean native goats.
