The antigen thoraxial extracted from some insects indicated a potential in immunity system amelioration in mammalian. This study aimed to evaluate the growth performance of goats immunized with IATMd (immunogen antigens of Musca domestica). Twelve goats were used in this experiment. Each experiment animal was treated with 10 μl of thoraxial antigens of Musca domestica. The animals were divided into two groups: control group and treated group. The growth performances were evaluated under three parameters: Body weight gain, feed intake and FCR. All animals were fed with the same feed. The data were collected during eight weeks and analyzed by using t-student procedure. The results showed that FCR of the animas in treatment group was significance higher than in the control group (P<0.05) while there has no different statistically on body weight gain (P>0.05). It was concluded that immunization of IATMd extract could improve nutrient metabolism in goats that play a role in FCR value of these animals experiment.
