The composition and structure of the diet influence not only the level of milk production in dairy goats, but also its functional properties. It is important to search for inexpensive feed products of plant origin that have high nutritional value and contain the biologically active substances with antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. The introduction of by-products of agro-industrial production into the diets of farm animals allows us to expand the range of domestic inexpensive feed resources. Coriander cake can be considered as a feed product that meets all the above requirements, and therefore its use can serve as an effective alternative for providing goats with nutrients. An assessment was made of the digestibility of dietary nutrients, nitrogen balance and productivity in Saanen goats when different levels of coriander cake were introduced into the diet as a functional feed. It has been established that coriander cake can be used as an alternative feed with specified functional characteristics. https://cjes.guilan.ac.ir/article_9214_8dca2ed7c177798f74d927ad509b34dd.pdf
