Abstract
This study aims to determine the effect of Indigofera leaves feeding (Indigofera zollingeriana) on the performance of goats livestock using meta-analysis studies. This research begins with integrating secondary data sourced from various publications, i.e., journals and proceedings. The publications selected must contain information on the effect of feeding Indigofera leaves on goats. Furthermore, the data were collected into a database using Microsoft Excel. During the collection of data, experimental units of each data were equated, then analyzed using R version 4.2.0. The results of the analysis showed that the effect of feeding Indigofera leaves was not significant effect on ADG (average daily gain), PWW (post weaning weight), and FCR (feed conversion rate), while the feed consumption or DMI (dry matter intake) showed a significant effect (P<0.05).
