The results indicated that the diets with high percentage of giant reed (40.0 & 50.0%) were decreased (P<0.05) the most recorded parameters compared to the control and 30.0% giant reed diets under subtropical condition. In conclusion, replacement of alfalfa hay with 30.0% giant reed could be promising of Ardi goat growth performances, feed efficiency and serum
