Abstract:	A study was co"fl:ducted to investigate the feeding systems, feeds availability and nutrient content in the feeds and forages available in 3 major goat raising districts of Tanahun. Gorkha and Syangja. Feeds and feeding situation for goats in these 3 major goat keeping districts was not encouraging. Mostly the animals were browsed in the forest and near by areas. Situation was found to be poor from Fa/gun orrwards ·when all green forages get exhausted and greenery in the forest also fades due to shedding of leaves from the browse plants and trees. There were some places where stall feeding was in practice, particularly when there were few heads of goats. This was mostly along the corridors of Prithwi highway. Concentrate was no_t usually given except for those lactating does having very young kids. Stall fed goats also depended on the forage collected from the forest and farm yard or Baris!Kanlas. Nutrient content in the tree fodders was good. roughages poor and some locally available concentrate feed ingredients normal. Some immediate measures need to be implemented to improve the feeds and feeding situation in the districts.
