(1.34%) and Ficus variegata Blume (0.89?). Gliricidia sp. contributed protein in ration up to 16.82?. About 56.25? of farmer fed animal with 100? Gliricidia sp., while 18.75? of farmer used Gliricidia sp. in combination with Erytrina subumbrans (Hassk.) and 12.5? of them fed EC goats with combination of Gliricidia sp. and Erytrina subumbrans (Hassk.) or and Ficus variegata Blume.
