A total number of 16 animals (Egyptian balady goat's kids) of both sexes were used in this study. These animals were three months old, of good health state and with an average body weight of 3 - 4.2 kg. The kids were randomly divided into two groups, each of 8 animals. The animals of both groups were fed balanced growing ration for goats according to NRC (1981). The diets of the second group were supplemented with pronifer at a rate of 10 grams pronifer per animal/ day, however the animals in the first group were fed pronifer free diets and considered as control. The experiment durated for three months. This work aimed to study the clinical, hematological and some biochemical changes associating feeding of goat's kids on pronifer supplemented diets. Addition of pronifer to the feed improve the appetite and health of the kids, consequently resulted in significant increase in their weight gain.
