Abstract
ABSTRACT Forty-eight Boer goat doelings (10.4 ± 0.13 mo of age and 27.1 ± 0.98 kg in BW) were used in a 9-wk experiment to compare feeding value of deep-stacked (DS) and ensiled (EN) broiler litter. The broiler litter was processed for 82 d before use. Treatments were feeding 1% of BW (DM) 3:1 corn–soybean meal mixture and moderate-to-high-quality grass hay free choice (Cont-F); 1% of BW hay and the concentrate mixture free choice (Cont-C); 1% of BW hay, 1.1% of BW corn, and DS or EN free choice (DS-L and EN-L, respectively); and 1% BW hay and DS or EN free choice (DS-H and EN-H, respectively). Daily samples of DS and EN averaged 70.9 and 73.3% OM (DM basis), 21.8 and 23.2% CP, and 34.0 and 37.2% NDF, respectively. Total OM intake was less for DS-H and EN-H versus DL-L and EN-L broiler-litter treatments (P
