What is the best way to feed goats?
Feed only clean, fresh and dry fodder.
* Always have fresh water for goats to drink at any time.
* Clean the feeding trough and water bucket every day.
* Give lots of different feeds such as grasses and legumes, tree leaves and fresh kitchen remains.
* Give chopped mixed feeds to make sure the goats eat everything and do not waste feed.
* Feed goats at least 3 times a day and at the same time every day.
* Put some feed in the feed trough or rack or hang up some feed to be eaten overnight.
* If you use molasses to make feed taste better do not use too much it will make feed sticky.
* Dusty feeds and concentrates should be wetted a little.
* Provide fresh and clean water daily. There should always be water in the bucket.
* Provide a Mineral Lick (block) always to all goats.
* Do not feed too much leguminous feed such as Desmodium.
* Mix feeds with grass, hay, straw or Napier to balance.
* Only 1/3 of the days feed can be leucaenia, do not feed too much leucaenia, it can poison the goats.
