Background: A feeding system based on moringa and chaya leaf mixed complete pellet feed is a feed processing method which help goats use nutrients from tree fodder better, making goat farming more profitable. Pellet feed prepared from concentrate mixture and fodders ensures the balanced nutrition to kids.&nbsp; Pellet feeding improves nutrient utilization and acceptability, ensuring consistent intake and reducing feed wastage. 
 
Methods: The current study was conducted on 24 Barbari kids (aged 2-4 months and weighed 6-8 kg) to evaluate the effect of moringa and chaya mixed pellet Supplementation on growth, dry matter intake along with nutrient utilization in LRC, ICAR-NDRI, Karnal, Haryana. Moringa and chaya was procured from farming system research and forage production section, ICAR-NDRI, Karnal. Three distinct pellets were formulated viz., pellet without supplementation (T0), moringa and chaya mixed pellet supplementation at 8% inclusion level (T1) and moringa and chaya mixed pellet supplementation at 12% inclusion level (T2). Statistical computations were performed using SPSS (Version 27.0), following the methodology outlined. 
 
Result: The findings demonstrated that dietary interventions considerably (p&lt;0.05) influenced average dry matter intake (g/day), which was higher in T2 (458.18 g/d) followed by T1 (426.52 g/d) as compared to the T0 group (409.09 g/d). The kids fed T1 and T2 diets had higher digestibility coefficients (P&lt;0.05) for organic matter, crude protein, dry matter and fibre fractions as differed to those fed T0 group. The ADG (g) was significantly (p&lt;0.05) higher in T2 (58.78 g/d) and T1 (48.75 g/d) compared to the T0 group (41.80 g/d). It was concluded that supplementation of moringa and chaya included pellets, particularly at a 12% inclusion level, improves growth and nutrient utilization in Barbari kids.
