Twenty-four Osmanabadi weaned kids of same age and uniform confirmation was selected for experimental trails. The kids were grouped under same weight and average age in four treatment group with six kids (3 males and 3female) in each group. The control (T₀) included 80% DCP from concentrate mixture + 20% DCP from green Sorghum + ad-lib sorghum Kadbi; T₁ included 20% DCP from concentrate mixture +20% DCP from green sorghum fodder+ 30% DCP from Sesbania grandiflora (Hadaga) foliage + 20% DCP from Leucaena leucocephala (Subabul) foliage + 10% DCP from Desmanthus virgatus (Dashrath) foliage + ad-lib sorghum kadbi; T₂ included 20% DCP from 20% DCP from green sorghum fodder + 20% DCP from Sesbania grandiflora (Hadaga) foliage + 20% DCP from Leucaena leucocephala (Subabul) foliage + 30% DCP from Desmanthus virgatus (Dashrath) foliage + ad- lib sorghum kadbi; T3 included 20% DCP from 20% DCP from green sorghum fodder + 10% DCP from Sesbania grandiflora (Hadaga) foliage + 30% DCP from Leucaena leucocephala (Subabul) foliage + 20% DCP from Desmanthus virgatus (Dashrath) foliage + ad- lib sorghum kadbi; The experimental period was 270 days and 10 days as a pre-experimental period.

The average dressing percentage on PSW basis of Osmanabadi kids in T₀, T₁, T₂ and T₃ were as 49.10, 49.64, 50.11 and 48.37 percent, respectively. The average dressing percentage on ESW basis of Osmanabadi kids were as 52.98, 5.53, 54.30 and 52.85 percent, respectively. The dressing percentage on Pre-slaughter weight basis under treatment T₂ and T₁ was significantly (P < 0.05) higher over T₀ and T₃. However T₀ was significantly over T₃. The dressing percentage on Empty slaughter weight (ESW) basis under treatment T₂ and T₁ was significantly (P< 0.05) higher over T₀ and T₃.Therefore, it can be concluded that the dressing percentage on PSW and ESW were significantly higher in kids fed T₂ (20% DCP from concentrate mixture + 20% DCP from green sorghum fodder 20% DCP from Sesbania grandiflora (Hadaga) foliage + 10% DCP from Leucaena leucocephala (subabul) foliage + 30% DCP from Desmanthes virgatus (dashrath) foliage + ad-lib sorghum kadbi) combination of leguminous foliage than other treatment (T₁, T₃ and T₀) groups.
