This is from a local mill. Is this fiber really high?

I know it is not medicated, but can I top dress with decoxx crumbles? That would allow me to let the dairy does eat it and not worry about the milk.

Would the Ammonium Chloride be ok for the dairy does? I would also be feeding alfalfa, grass hay is the same price around here.

GUARANTEED ANALYSIS:
Crude Protein Minimum 16.0%
Crude Fat Minimum 3.0%
Crude Fiber Maximum 25.0%
Ash Maximum 8.5%
Calcium Maximum 1.0%
Phosphorus Minimum 0.4%
With Ammonium Chloride

INGREDIENTS:
Alfalfa Hay, Soybean Meal, Distillers Dried Grains, Rice Bran, Corn, Mixed Grain Hay, Almond Hulls, Molasses, Salt, Ground Limestone, Ammonium Chloride, Dicalcium Phosphate, Monocalcium Phosphate, Zinc Methionine Complex, Magnesium Oxide, Manganese Methionine Complex, Glycerin, Manganous Sulfate, Copper Lysine Complex, Zinc Sulfate, Cobalt Glucoheptonate, Soybean Oil, Copper Sulfate, Salt, Vitamin E Supplement, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Cobalt Carbonate, Ethylene Diamine Dihydriodide, Sodium Selenite.

I have never seen a goat feed wtih that High of fiber.
Our nutritionist told us it was a waste of our money paying for fiber. But most show feeds do have at least 15 or 16%, Ours has 12%
Deccox crumbles??? I havn't heard of them.

I thought that seemed really high. I have one more mill to check on, but they don't have a web page so I have to call them.
It never ceases to amaze me how different things can be from one side of our country to the other. Alot of people out here use this, but I never have. Having does I milk I always I have to check for medicated feed so this would make that easier.

Yeah that's some real high Fiber. Never have I ever seen it that high on goat fed either.
looks more like hay in a bag with some corn and soybean thrown in with a splash of minerals and vitamins.

I agree.

I wound't go to feed that high like that. Highest I think I'd go in feed is about 18% or so. I prefer mine to be in the 16-18% range and I'm not a huge fan of it in the 8-12% range I see sometimes.

For those of you that are using a ton of grain (literally), are you buying it bulk and if so, how do you store it? Looking at grain bins and they are not cheap.
