Yeast and lactic acid bacteria (RABAL) are probiotic fermentation product derived from Saccharomyces fungi and Lactobacillus bacteria, utilizing fruit waste as a substrate. This study aimed to determine the effects of RABAL oral administration on hematological parameters (blood profiles), and growth performance in local goats.This study used nine male local goats aged between 8-12 months with a weight range of 7.9-20.9 kg. The study design used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three distinct treatment groups, each containing three goats. Over the 28-day study period, the animals received a daily oral dose of RABAL in the afternoon prior to herding. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein using vacuum tubes containing EDTA anticoagulant (1-1.5 mg/ml) which were then analyzed for hematological parameters. Growth performance was assessed by measuring Average Daily Gain (ADG) and Body Condition Score (BCS). Data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and descriptive analysis. The statistical analysis indicated that RABAL supplementation did not exert a significant influence (P>0.05) on hematological parameters, but had a significant effect (P<0.05) on ADG. The administration of 6 ml of RABAL resulted in a higher ADG (0.16 kg/head/day) compared to the control group (0.05 kg/head/day). Furthermore, the group receiving the 6 ml dosage achieved a Body Condition Score of four. In conclusion, the findings suggest that a daily oral administration of six ml RABAL can enhance growth performance and productivity in local goats without altering their hematological profile. © 2025, ResearchersLinks Ltd.
