A wide range of fodder species are available in the mid-hills of Nepal. Most of them do not meet the nutrient, mainly protein, requirements of livestock. Stylo (Stylosanthesis guinensis)  is  a legume herb with high crude protein content and which can be grown in the mid-hills of Nepal. This study, conducted in the mid-hills of Nepal, examined the effects of stylo dry matter intake (DMI) and body weight gain in goats. To examine the effects of stylo on DMI and growth in goats, twelve 6-7 month-old castrated male goats were assigned to three dietary treatment groups (n = 4/group)……………….
