Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is a medicinal herb with various bioactive compounds that may influence the nutritional intake of livestock. This study aims to investigate the effect of fenugreek seed supplementation on the feed and water intake of Konkan Kanyal goats. Eighteen Konkan Kanyal kids (3 months old) were divided into six treatment groups and fed fenugreek seeds (FS) viz., T0- (Control) Basal ration (Soybean straw 40% + Green maize 20% +concentrate mixture 40%), T1- Basal ration +0.75 % FS, T2- Basal ration +1.5 % FS, T3- Basal ration + 2.25 % FS, T4- Basal ration + 3 % FS and T5- Basal ration + 3.75 % FS. The average feed intake (g/d) was higher in T5 (1216.10) than T0 (1095.66), T1 (1119.60), T2 (1152.20), T3(1177.13), T4 (1203.16). The average water intake (ml/d) of kids was 904.33 in T0, 911.66 in T1, 913.66 in T2, 920.33 in T3, 925.66 in T4 and 930.33 in T5. Therefore, it is concluded that addition of 3.75 per cent fenugreek seed with basal ration had significant (P<0.05) incremental effect on the feed intake (1216.10 g/day) and, water intake (930.33 ml/day).
