Goats fed SL hay had higher (P < 0.05) contents of butyric (8.66 vs 7.16 mM), isobutyric (1.94 vs 1.44 mM), isovaleric (3.03 vs 2.13 mM), and valeric (1.43 vs 1.07 mM) acids than those fed BG hay; however, the content of acetic acid (78.6 vs 64.4 mM) was higher (P < 0.05) in the BG-fed groups than in SL-fed groups.
Metabolizable energy intake (MEI) increased linearly (P<0.05) with the increasing amounts of alfalfa hay, being highest (P<0.05) for diet 5. Diets that contained alfalfa hay had greater (P<0.05) dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and crude protein (CP) digestibilities.
