A feeding experiment was conducted to assess the effect of live Saccharomyces cerevisiae addition on nutrient digestibility and haemato-biochemical parameters in Malabari kids. Eighteen kids, aged three to four months, were selected from the University Goat and Sheep Farm, Mannuthy and assigned to three dietary treatments (T1, T2 and T3) in a completely randomised design. Kids in T1 were fed a concentrate mixture containing 22 per cent CP and 70 per cent TDN, those in T2 received the same concentrate mixture with 3g S. cerevisiae (1 1010 CFUg), and those in T3 were fed a concentrate mixture with 20 per cent CP and 70 per cent TDN along with 3 g S. cerevisiae (1 1010 CFUg) for 91 days. Ad libitum green fodder and weighed quantity of feed were offered daily to all groups. Digestibility trial and blood samples collection were conducted at the final week of the experiment. The digestibility coefficients of nutrients were similar. There was no statistically significant difference (P 0.05) in blood haemoglobin, serum albumin, calcium, phosphorus, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine values. Serum total protein was significantly higher (P
