Nutrition
- The nutritional needs of goats must be met in order to produce quality animals.
- If adequate browse and forage is not available, make use of supplemental feeding of protein
- Animals raised only on forage or pasturage year around generally are lacking in essential nutrients.
- fresh, clean water is essential to the continued good health of goats. Keep water troughs very clean. Dirty water is a quick route to illness.
- In addition to salt blocks, provide loose minerals containing 950 to 1250 ppm of copper. Loose minerals are better because blocks lose essential nutrients when they are heat shrunk and mineral blocks are hard on goats' teeth
- Hay must always be fresh, clean, and dry.
- corn is a favorite with goats
