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.
Our feed is a complete and balanced feed ration for growing goats. Feed 2 pounds of goat feed per 100 pounds of body weight and 2 to 4 pounds of good quality hay per 100 pounds of body weight daily. Always provide plenty of fresh, clean water. In addition to a regular ration of feed, goats enjoy browsing for forage.
