The present investigation entitled “Effect of Feeding of Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) Seed Husk on Digestibility and Production Performance of Crossbred Cattle” was undertaken to study effect of feeding tamarind seed husk (TSH ) as a source of tannin on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, milk production and composition Twenty-one crossbred lactating cows were selected on the basis of milk yeild, body weight, number of lactation completed and days in lactation. Selected cows were randomly divided into 3 groups of 7 cows in each treatment and been fed as per treatment. Lactating cows were offered a complete feed with conc. Miixture containing 0%, 2.5%, 7.5% TSH to Groupn T₁, T₂ and T_3. DMI in cows of all the treatments was sufficient to meet out nutritional norms. It was observed that there was statistically nonsignificant (p > 0.05) difference among the groups in dry matter intake and body weight gain.
