3. Rations for Goats 



A few words in regard to the feeding of goats are in order. The 

 best and most natural feed for goats is green forage obtained from 

 meadows that have not been heavily manured or fertilized. The leaves 

 or green shoots of blackberries and of the hazel, birch, linden, oak and 

 the grape vine are also suitable and well liked. In a general way, goats 

 should be fed according to the same principles laid down for the feeding 

 of cattle. A common error consists in feeding goats on kitchen refuse 

 and thin soups or gruels. This is wrong. 



The nutrient content of the feed should be in accord with the require- 

 ments of the animal and its work or product. Concentrates, root crops 

 and tubers should be fed in a more or less dry state. Above all, suffi- 

 cient quantities of green forage and hay should be provided. Weekly 

 additions of prepared chalk or feed-lime, 3 to 4 teaspoonfuls for kids 

 and 3 to 4 tablespoon fuls for mature goats, are recommended as mini- 

 mum quantities. 



The feeding of kids is much along the same line recommended for 

 lambs.
