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.
• With a light molasses coating.

FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS

Small Goat / Pygmy (25 – 50kg): 0.5 – 1kg Goat Mix per Day

Large Goat (50 – 100kg): 1 – 2kg Goat Mix per Day

Additional Feeding Recommendations

– Molassed 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.

FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS

Pygmy goats thrive on routine so try to feed them at the same time each day. It is advisable to feed them twice per day – so split the mix evenly between each meal. The rest of their daily diet should be made up of good quality hay, which can be made available at all times for them to help themselves. Make sure that clean, fresh water is also available at all times. Feed between 80g to 270g per day depending on size, and condition.

• Smallholder Range feeds are made from natural ingredients which can result in the feed changing colour slightly through the seasons

FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions for use: Hay or roughage will form the basis of the diet. Adult goats will usually eat at least 1-2kg of hay a day, and milkers will often need nearer 3.5kg of hay a day. Goats are highly individual and these are only guidelines – adjust the quantity fed to maintain each goat in the best condition. Make any changes slowly and introduce concentrate feeds gradually. It is beneficial to split the total amount into two or three feeds.

Maintenance: Adult goats that are not milking will usually need 0.5-1.0kg of mix per day.

Milking and In Kid Goats: Introduce All Round Goat Mix 1-2 weeks before the kids are due to be born. Start with just a handful and increase gradually so that by the day of the birth you are feeding 0.5kg a day. After the birth, slowly increase the quantity of All Round Goat Mix to about 2kg a day. A milker producing 4.5 litres (a gallon) a day will usually require 2kg of mix. For those producing more milk than this, it may be necessary to increase the amount fed up to 3kg, although not all goats will eat this much.

Kids: The newborn kid will get all its nourishment from its mother’s milk. Introduce feed gradually and in small amounts. By the time they are two weeks old, kids will already be starting to nibble at solid food. Offer small amounts of mix for them to pick at, as well as good quality hay. This can gradually be increased so that by the time they are weaned (usually at about three months) they are eating at least 0.4kg of mix a day.
