## Abstract
Jatropha gossypifolia L. is a critical source of feed ingredients for livestock, providing 60% protein with a proper balance of essential amino acids when appropriately processed.This study aimed to evaluate the production performance, physiological status, and haematological value of Nuts goats fed with jatropha leaves processed using different methods and levels.Thirty local female goats of 10 months old with a weight range of 10.89kg to 18.98kg were used.The research employed a 2×5 factorial randomized block design and was repeated three times.The analysis revealed an interaction between the processing method and the level of red jatropha leaves given to obtain body weight gain, consumption of dry matter, and crude protein ration.The processing method of red jatropha leaves had a significant impact on the consumption of dry matter and crude protein ration, body temperature, pulsus frequency, and hematological value (white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin level, hematocrit value) of the goats.However, it did not affect the efficiency of using dry ingredients, protein rations, and the frequency of respiration of nuts goats.
