Dairy & Meat Goat Feeds
Middle Navigation Bar
Highly fortified feeds for superior performance, digestibility, palatability, and quality.
We have a line of feeds, premixes, and supplements formulated specifically for Goats. Many producers mistakenly use dairy cattle feeds for goats, but the requirements of the two species are very different, consequently, the goats do not receive the proper levels of vitamins and minerals, as well as not enough protein or energy. For example, dairy cattle feeds provide only 1/10th the levels of Vitamin E and Selenium required in a Dairy Goat ration.
Rations provide all the correct required levels of vitamins, and minerals; and in fact, many of our formulations have much higher levels for improved performance of the animal. Extra Phosphorus is added for lactating animals and young stock. The levels of Iron and Zinc are higher for improved skin and hair condition, higher disease resistance, and reduced occurrences of anemia. Our Selenium and Vitamin E levels are the highest in the industry; proper levels reduce losses due to White Muscle Disease, reduce the incidence of retained placentas and breeding problems, and improve disease resistance. All of our Goat Feeds contain the correct copper level; our customers have never had a copper toxicity or deficiency while on our program.

FREE CHOICE MINERAL
Meat Goat
GOAT MINERAL w/DECCOX + VITAMINS
This is our own free choice mineral made just for goats. Contains 27% Salt, 18% Calcium, 8% Phosphorus, Trace minerals, Iodine and Selenium. Each ounce of our Goat Mineral contains the maximum level of Selenium allowed by the FDA, at 0.70 mg. This level of Selenium is higher than any other competitors free choice mineral, and also higher than any mineral formulated for other species. High levels of zinc and iron are important for maintaining high growth rates, preventing anemia, and increasing resistance to disease. To prevent goiter, Iodine is included at a much higher level than NRC. Goat Mineral also contains the proper level of added copper (240 ppm) in addition to added Vitamins A, D, and E. Does typically consume 1/2 to 1 ounce of mineral per day. Our Goat Mineral (Item #20005) contains decoquinate for the prevention and control of coccidiosis. Feed 30 days pre-kidding to does as a means of cleaning up the adults of cocci. This will greatly reduce the level of cocci in the environment, enabling the young kids to avoid performance- reducing infections at a young age. A level of one ounce/day provides 22.7 mg/100 lbs. of body weight of deccox. (Contains added Copper - Do not feed this product to sheep.)

SHEEP & GOAT MINERAL (PLAIN)
For those goat herds wanting an unmedicated mineral use our High Selenium, Free Choice Sheep and Goat Mineral which contains 27% Salt, 18% Calcium, 9% Phosphorus, Trace minerals, Iodine and Selenium. Each ounce of our sheep and goat mineral contains the maximum level allowed by the FDA, at 0.70 mg Selenium. The levels of Selenium are higher than any other competitors free choice mineral, and also higher than any mineral formulated for other species. High levels of zinc and iron are important for maintaining high growth rates, preventing anemia, and increasing resistance to disease. To prevent goiter, Iodine is included at a much higher level than NRC. Since this product #501500 is fed to both sheep and goats it has only naturally occurring copper– no added copper. Does typically consume 1/2 to 1 ounce of mineral per day, or approximately 17# per year, equaling a cost/doe/year of $ 4.42.

34R-240 SUPPLEMENT
A pelleted protein supplement containing Rumensin for prevention
and control of coccidiosis. For meat-type goats feed in late gestation (last 4-6 weeks) and in lactation. Feed 34R-240 at the rate of 1/4 lb. per doe/day to provide a high level (30 mg) of Rumensin. This will ‘clean up’ the doe so that she does not shed as much cocci at kidding, which lowers cocci infection in the goat kids! This 0.25 lb of 34R Supplement also provides very high Selenium (0.70 mg) and Vitamin E (50 IU/lb). For about .06¢ per day 34 R cleans up cocci, prevents white muscle disease and toxoplasmosis, and provides selenium, minerals, and vitamins.
