Abstract: This study was carried out to investigate the utilization of leucaena as sole diet after restricted feeding to elevate compensatory growth during the realimentation. Twelve goats, average body weight of 17.5 kg, were assigned into 3 treatments with 4 replicates in completely randomized design (CRD) where all treatments were under 3 feeding regimes viz. pre-restriction, feed restriction and realimentation. All animals were allotted to promote an average daily gain (ADG) of 100 g as normal group for 3 weeks in pre-restriction. Subsequently, in the feed restriction period, animals in Treatment 1 (Normal group) were continuously fed at the similar level as in the pre-restriction while the animals in Treatments 2 and 3 (Restricted groups) were subjected to 2 feeding levels of 47.5% and 67.5% below maintenance, respectively, for 4 weeks. The final period of re-alimentation (7 weeks), restricted groups were fed ad libitum sole leucaena. At the sub period of realimentation, compensatory growth had been completed within 2 weeks indicating the higher ADG of 141.25 and 158.57 g in restricted groups, than that of 106.79 g in the normal group. It can be concluded that single feeding of leucaena for compensatory growth after restriction feeding can be utilized within a short period during re-alimentation due to the limitation of fiber enrichment in leucaena. In addition, leucaena feeding decreased protozoa population lowering digestibility and affected blood metabolites (BUN and β-HB).
