Abstract
This study was conducted to assess the feedlot performance, external body measurements and non carcass components of  Sudanese  desert male kids fed diets containing  different sugar cane tops levels. Twenty seven young desert goat kids less than one year old were purchased from Jabal Awlia local animal market. Then transported to the small ruminant pens at the Faculty of Agricultural Technology and Fish Sciences Elneelain University in Jabal Awlia. These animals were subjected to adaptation period for two weeks, after this period animals were weighed, and divided randomly into 3 groups (A, B, and C, 9 heads/ group) of the same number  and weight and each group was separately  penned. The goat kids groups were fed these diets for 56 days. three isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets, containing graded levels of sugar cane tops (0%, 10%, and 20%)  were formulated. Green fodder (Medicago sativa) was also given at rate of one kg/week/head to avoid.

 vitamin (A) deficiency. Feedlot performance parameters as feed intake, feed conversion ratio, live weight gain, live body measurement and non carcass components were studied.
The results indicated that feedlot performance parameters tested and
non-carcass components except empty Intestine and Tail were not significantly affected by the levels of sugar cane tops in the diet.
