An experimental trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding Cashew apple (Anacardium occidentale) powder on growth performance of Konkan Kanyal kids. Twenty Konkan Kanyal kids were selected and classified in five treatments by using Randomized Block Design (RBD). Each treatment was subdivided into four replications. All the animals were fed with complete feed comprised of hybrid Napier grass, jowar kadabi and concentrate mixture (goat pellets). In treatment T1 no cashew apple powder was supplemented while in treatment T2 10.0 g cashew apple powder, in treatment T3 15.0 g cashew apple powder, in treatment T4 20.0 g cashew apple powder and in treatment T525.0 g cashew apple powder was supplemented. The duration of experimental trial was 90 days. The study showed that cashew apple inclusion in the diet improved digestibility thus 15 g cashew apple can be included in diet of konkan kanyal kids for better performance.
