Providing animals with an adequate amount of protein is crucial for their growth, development, and overall health. The feeding levels of goats reared in Bonli, Sawai Madhopur district, would depend on various factors such as the purpose of rearing (dairy or meat production), breed of goats, age, weight, and available feed resources. Protein plays a vital role in the body of animals, such as providing energy, supporting the production of meat, milk, and other products, repairing tissues, and supporting various physiological processes. The main sources of protein for animals include meat, fish, eggs, milk and dairy products, grains, legumes, feedstuffs, and specially formulated feed for animals. The protein. (D.M., D.C.P. and T.D.N.) requirements for animals depend on various factors such as reproductive status, age, weight, performance level, and reproductive fitness. In summary, providing animals with an adequate amount of protein is essential for their health, development, performance, and livelihood. A balanced diet and the use of high-quality protein sources will help animals meet their nutritional needs according to their requirements, ensuring their overall development and well-being.
