Feeding coffee grounds?

[newbiekat]

Can I feed used coffee grounds to my goats? I usually compost them into my garden, but I wondered if it would be beneficial to feed them to my chickens or goats... Anyone have any idea?

From what I have read and researched, it is not advised to give to goats, chickens or livestock due to the caffeine.

Pretty definite "NO!" on that. Keep your coffee grounds in your garden.

Joining in on the no - into the garden they go

Agree with the above.

Although our goats love coffee

Oh heavens yes - I've made the mistake of placing an open mug down and lost my coffee, tea, or sodie pop right quick!

My queen loves CAKE! She was house trained at the time and waited at the oven door when she could smell it was done for it to POP out of the oven! CAKE!

Now a mother...Her 3rd set of twins on the way...
