An important feature of this increased intensification has been the use of complete feeds containing a lower amount of crude fibre than the standard (Owen, 1979) accepted. Supplementing such feeds with ionophore antibiotics like monensin (Havey and Hoehn, 1967) improves body weight gain, body measurements and feed conversion efficiency (Path and Honmonde, 1994). The present investigation was carried out to study the influence of monensin supplementation on body measurements of kids fed on complete rations containing different levels of fibre. https://www.jvas.in/public_html/upload/article_file/article_file_qxrptl.pdf?t=qxrptl
