Popis: The experiment was conducted on former Konso Woreda, now Konso Zone, Baide station. The aim of the study was to determine cheka-residue as an economic source of energy feed to replace wheat bran through evaluating its effect on weight gain and nutrient digestibility. Twenty intact yearling woyto-guji bucks selected from Baide CBBP association were divided in to five treatment groups each having four animal units. They were assigned to five experimental feeds [(Group-1/T1= Grazing + 1.8 L cheka-residue; Group-2/T2= Grazing + 0.6 L cheka-residue + 132 g wheat bran; Group-3/T3= Grazing + 1.2 L cheka-residue + 68 g wheat bran; Group-4/T4= Grazing + 200 g wheat bran; Group-5/T5= Grazing only) in a completely block design. Equal amount of noug-seed-cake (100 g/anl/day) was given to all treatment groups. The study comprised 90 days of feeding + 7 days digestibility trial. Supplementation after grazing tend to have increased (p
