Background and Objective: Palm oil plantations have great potential for supporting the development of the animal industry in South Kalimantan through supplying feeds for ruminants. This research was aimed at utilizing palm oil plantation byproducts to improve the production performance of Kacang goats in South Kalimantan using complete wafered roughages (CWR) based on palm oil plantation byproducts. Materials and Methods: Twelve month old male Kacang goats weighing 12±1.2 kg were allocated four different feed formulations with four replications: (1) Control feed consisting of 60% pasture grass +40% legume (PTA), (2) 50% CWR +50% PTA (PT1) (3) 75% CWR +25% PTA (PT2) (4) 100% CWR (PT3). The experimental measurements were dry matter intake (DMI), dry matter digestibility (DMD), live weight gain (LWG) and feed efficiency. The data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Results: Compared to those fed with other dietary treatments, Kacang goats offered 75% CWR (PT2) feed treatment had higher DMI (521.7 g day–1, p<0.05), crude protein (CP) consumption (68.4 g day–1, p<0.05), DMD (64.7%, p<0.05) and protein digestibility (72.4%;, p<0.05). As a result, the PT2 feed formulation significantly increased LWG of Kacang goats by 95.5 g day–1 (p<0.05) and improved feed efficiency by 0.12 P. Conclusion: Complete wafered roughage can be used as a feed for Kacang goats at a ratio of 75% of the total diet.
