goats

Nutrient requirements differ in various stages of maintenance, growth, pregnancy and lactation, but it is important to feed a balanced ration at all times as goats that are too fat, too skinny or receiving too much or too little of specific nutrients are more prone to other health problems. Proper nutrition for goats is important at all ages in order to maximize profit potential in the kids, yearlings or adult animals when rearing goats. Conversely, goats that are sick, wormy or injured also will not benefit maximally from proper nutrition.
