Goat Feed Testimonials
GOAT FEED
Early in 2006 we obtained a dealership for Nutrition Services Goat Feed. We were dissatisfied with the feeds that we were obtaining from the major feed companies and their lack of desire to help us develop a new goat
feed. We have been using, and stocking for resale, three goat feeds, although NS makes several others. The feed that we use for our creep feed and feed for our young weaned billys and nannies is their Boer Goat
Developer R-20. Here is the tag information from it:
ACTIVE DRUG INGREDIENT
Monensin 20 grams

Fat (min) 4.00%

We feed this feed to the billy and nanny kids till they are sold or until we switch them over to the 24% and whole shelled corn. We also feed this feed to
our nannies with kids in the kidding barn mixed with a little shelled corn. We mix it either 3 parts Developer and 1 part whole shelled corn or 2 parts of Developer and 1 part whole shelled corn depending on the
weather. We feed it at the rate of 1# per head per day for each nanny, plus 1# per day for each kid she has. ie: a nanny with 2 kids gets 3 #, etc. we split this into two feedings, feeding half in the morning
and half in the evening. I'm sure your nutritionist will tell you this makes your protein too low, but we have seen good results from doing it this way for several years. It helps get more energy into the
nannies and helps to "economize" on the feed bill a little.

This feed is made to be fed with
equal parts of whole shelled corn. We begin feeding it as the weather cools in the fall and gradually increase the consumption till we are feeding 1# of the supplement and 1# of whole shelled corn per head to
each of the billies and nannies through the coldest weather. We'll tail it off a little as the weather begins to warm in the spring and the nannies get closer to kidding. They also have a salt block
in front of them, NSI Goat Pro Mineral and get all the fresh water they want and run to a big bale of the best alfalfa hay we can obtain.

1. Contains Albion Chelated Minerals - including organic zinc for hoof health.
2. Contains all essential trace vitamins & minerals including Vitamin E & Selenium for the prevention of white muscle disease.
This mineral is made to be fed free choice. If you have been
feeding one of the "major brand" minerals and your goats haven't been eating it real good, you'll think you need to buy your own feed store when you put your goats on this mineral. They will scarf
it down like candy for the first couple of weeks but then when their system catches up with what it is lacking, they'll tail off to about 1 to 2 oz per head per day. You'll notice a better hair coat and
hooves on your goats after they've been on it for awhile.
Call or e-mail us for prices. Delivery in 2 ton loads is available in some areas.
