Hi Everyone,
We have Nubian goats. I love the ears.
We are feeding a basic goat developer/finisher with 16% protein, 15.0 to 25.00 pmm copper and.30 ppm selenium.
The drug ingredient in Decoquinate 13.6G/Ton.
It costs us $23.50 per 100 lbs.
The girls get 2 cups am. and 2 cups pm. each.
The boys get 2 cups pm, and hay and brouse....
The minerals are Sweetlix, free choice, freshened up every other day....
I try to keep everything in the barn very clean, feeders, water bowls, etc. We pick up poops with a pooper scooper every day from the barn hay floor. I sprinkle Sweet PDZ on the floor as needed. It is completely cleaned out once a year, and lime sprinkled on the earth. I use a heavy fly knock down at the beginning of fly season on the walls, and that really seems to keep fly population down. Plus I have a heavy duty barn fan going all the time for ventilation in summertime. I also keep paper towels, wipes, etc. and try to keep spiderwebs knocked down. I keep rat poison out under a heavy raised wooden pallet that we stack the hay on and so far no problem with mice/rats.
Most of all, my husband and I are out there at least two or three times a day. At night after feeding they are turned loose in the barn and I sit down on a chair and they come to me for petting and quiet time before bed. I'm telling you, those goats love me.
My goats have a lot of pasture and wooded area to roam in, I think that helps have healthy animals.
We use electric fencing to keep them in. They don't seem to want to get off the ranch. They stay within sight of the goat barn and the house...
Just FYI...

They have only had them for two days so far. They also make smaller cubes, but it's only a 40lb bag...price for lb is about the same though. We mite try them next time.
h ratio of 2:1 minimum (you could go slightly higher on the calcium side and be fine)
