6. Gum. Try chewing on a stick of gum to instantly defuse tension. In a recent study, while under moderate stress, gum chewers had salivary cortisol levels that were 12 percent lower than non-chewers.
Feed Nutrients. Energy is the most limiting nutrient to dairy goats. Sources of energy are grass, alfalfa, cereal grains such as corn, oats, wheat and barley and bypass fats. Energy limitations may result from inadequate feed intake, too much low quality feed, incorrect roughage to concentrate ratios.
What do goats eat? Pasture or Hay (90-100% of their diet) â Pasture is fresh land that is filled with lots of various grasses & weeds. Grain â (0-10% of their diet) â Goats donât need grain to survive, in fact, they can live happily on pasture or hay, or a combination of both. Itâs my opinion that because our soil is depleted of minerals, goats need grains in order to thrive.
