Fancy Feeds Dry Goat Mix 20kg

An appetising fully balanced mix for goats of all types and ages.

PRODUCT FEATURES

• With best bruised oats and other cereals, carefully micronised to improve digestibility which helps reduce the risk of digestive upsets. These supply calories from soluble carbohydrate and fermentable fibre.
• Include quality digestible fibre from grassmeal to help with rumen function to minimise acidosis.
• Quality protein for muscle and tissue repair and development as well as milk and hair production.
• Fully balanced with vitamins and minerals for health and well-being.
• Contain Sel-Plex® organic selenium to support fertility, immunity and muscle function. Much modern pasture and forage is selenium deficient so ensuring goats receive a good supply of this vital mineral will help support general good health and be passed to kids via the milk.
• With a blend of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids for a shiny coat.

Additional Feeding Recommendations

– Dry Goat Mix should be fed as required alongside forage based on the guidelines in the table above.

– Divide the concentrate ration into two or more small meals.

– Make any changes to diet gradually over 7 to 14 days to avoid upsetting the bacterial population of the rumen.

– Ad lib forage (grass, hay, haylage) should be available year-round and should comprise a minimum of 40 – 50% of the total daily ration.

– Forage is best fed in a raised rack to satisfy a goat’s need to browse rather than graze.

– Avoid using haynets for goats as they tend to get themselves caught in them.

– Feeding hay or fresh forage before giving concentrates will initiate chewing and saliva production and aid bicarbonate production. This buffers the acids of the rumen to help maintain a stable rumen pH which is especially important at the morning feeding.

– Mouldy feed or forage is potentially lethal to goats as the mould can upset the bacterial population of the rumen.

– Chopped alfalfa products, such as Alfalfa Blend from the Baileys Horse Feed range, are ideal sources of additional good quality protein and fibre.
