Goat Mix
The Home Farm Feeds Goat Mix is a wholesome palatable mix for goats of all types and ages. The mix is fully fortified and contains quality proteins for the health and development of your goats. The highly palatable and digestible mix contains a variety of cereals including micronized barley, crushed oats, and maize flakes as well as fibre sources.
In early lactation goats can consume up to 4 kg dietary dry matter. At this stage of lactation, goats should be fed a maximum of 60% concentrates and 40% forage (calculated on a dry matter basis). In mid lactation the ratio should be 45:55, and in late lactation 25:75.
Good quality forage and clean water should always be available.
Goats grazing good quality pasture require very low or no concentrate feeding depending on grass quality and availability, level of production and body condition.
