Feeding Guide
General feed guide: Recommended for feeding to lactating goats, dry female goats, billy goats and kids. As a guide, a dairy goat will eat up to 4kg of total dry matter depending on its size and stage of lactation. Dry goat feeding: Dry goats should be fed at a level of 0.5kg per day with suitable roughage made freely available. Lactating goats: Can be fed up to a maximum of 2.5kg per day at peak lactation, and again supplemented with good quality roughage. For very high yielding animals BOCM PAULS Goat 21 Pellets with added magnesium is recommended. Kid feeding: Should be offered to kids on an 'ad lib' basis with access to good quality roughage.
Additional Information
The ratio between Farmgate Coarse Goat and roughage should be 60:40, respectively, when goats are in early lactation. In mid lactation the respective ratio should be 45:55, and in late lactation 25:75.
A fresh supply of clean water should always be available. Enough drinking trough space should be allowed so that at least 10% of the herd is able to drink at once.
Feeding little and often is suggested with high feeding levels in early lactation. This will ensure that your goats have healthy appetites.
Goats in late pregnancy should be 'fit but not fat' to help ensure ease at kidding.
