<![CDATA[This study aimed to examine the physiological response, blood metabolites, consumption and digestibility, and carcasses of kacang goats fed Bauhinia purpurea leaves as an additive in complete feed. The study used 16 fattening goats aged 10–12 months with an initial body weight range of 12–14 kg via a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 4 replicates: T0: G. sepium 38% + native grass 32% + rice bran 5% + corn flour 24.8% + mineral mix 0.2% (control); T1: G. sepium 36% + native grass 34% + rice bran 5% + corn flour 22.3% + mineral mix 0.2% + B. purpurea leaves 2.5%; T2: Gliricidia sepium 34% + native grass 32% + rice bran 5% + corn flour 21.3% + mineral mix 0.2% + B. purpurea leaves 7.5%; T3: G. sepium 32% + native grass 30% + rice bran 5% + corn flour 20.3% + mineral mix 0.2% + B. purpurea leaves 12.5%. The results revealed that the treatment had no significant effect on any of the variables. The use of B. purpurea leaves in complete feed at 2.5% (T1), 7.5% (T2) and 12.5% (T3) had the same effect on the physiological response, nutrient consumption and digestibility, blood metabolites, and carcass and noncarcass production.]]>
