The aim of this research was to examine the use of corn stover which was previously treated with fungi Trichoderma sp. (treated corn stover) and enriched with gliricidia leaves as feed for local goat. A completely randomized block design (CRBD) with four treatments and three blocks as replicates were applied. A total of 12 one year old local goats (Marica x Kacang) at a body weight 12.46. ± 1.64 kg, derived from Jeneponto districts were divided into three sampling groups. Each goat was placed in a metabolic cage 65 x 100 cm. One of four treatments was randomly given to each goat within every block. The treatments were A: 80% corn stover + 20% gliricidia leaves, B: 60% corn stover + 40% gliricidia leaves, C: 80% treated corn stover + 20% gliricidia leaves, D: 60% treated corn stover + 40% gliricidia leaves. The amount of feed offered to each goat was 3.5% of their body weight on dry matter basis. Results of experiment indicated that performance of the goats fed on treated corn stover was significantly better than those received untreated corn stover. The performance of the goats given 40% gliridia leaves was much better than those given with 20% gliricidia leaves regardless of their basal diets whether treated or untreated corn stover. In conclusion, treating corn stover with fungi Trichoderma sp. could improve nutritive value of corn stover for goats and its productivity could be further improved by 40% with gliricidia leaves supplements feed.
