Feeding your goat
This is what we feed our goats but please adjust or change diet according to your own goats needs.
We mix into a larger bucket and then feed according to goat's particular needs.
We feed in the morning and evening-no large meals or they can bloat.
Goats should poop small round pellets and if they have clumped poop or diarrhea then they may be eating too much or too much of the wrong feed. Adjust to what your particular goat needs. Some people feed beet pulp shreds as part of their diet.
Goats main diet consists of HAY.
Always have good quality (mixed) grass hay available at all times for both Does and Bucks. This is their main food source. Alfalfa is apparently too high in protein for males so to be safe we just use mixed grass hay.
DOES:
- 1 cups Purina Dairy Goat
- 2/3 cup General "All Stock" for goats etc.
- 1/4 cup Alfalfa pellets
- 1/4 cup Black oil sunflower seed
BUCKS:
- 2/3 cup General "All Stock" or Goat Pellets
- 1/4 cup Black oil sunflower seed
We like to add a small amount of Manna Pro *Calf Manna Supplement
We free feed a general Goat Specific loose Mineral (not blocks): we've heard great things about the *Mineral Buffet for goats but have not had the chance to try it yet.
Always keep a salt block available by the water source
