In India, goat farming is one aspect which helps in providing self-sufficiency and returns to the goat owners within the capacity of low-income groups. This paper has examined the prospects of supplementing Azolla on the growth performance of Osmanabadi kids along with supplementation of panchagavya and probiotic. This type of study has not been conducted earlier. 24 Osmanabadi kids were divided into 4 groups. The control T0 fed with conventional diet. The treatment groups T1, T2 and T3 with 15% replacement of concentrate with Azolla meal .Supplementation of 2gm Probiotic and 15ml Panchagavya was given in T2 amd T3 respectively. The wilted Azolla used for trials had CP (22.40%), CF (13.50%), EE (3.40%), NFE (40%) and Total Ash (15.30%) and 90.80% DM. The weekly body weights of the kids by the end of trial was T0 (12.28±1.17), T1 (12.85±0.76), T2 (13.48±0.54) and T3 (13.12±0.24). T2 (11.69±0.52) exhibited higher average body weight followed by T3 (11.55±0.32) and T1 (11.48±0.82) with the control T0 (11.16±1.15) being the lowest. The body weight gain of kids was significantly (P<0.05) higher in T2 (0.26±0.00) as compared to T3(0.23±0.01) and T1(0.22±0.00) and lowest in T0(0.17±0.44). This study indicates that the supplementation of either commercial probiotics or panchagavya along with incorporation of 15% Azolla in kids ration is helpful to attain higher body weight gain.
