Stall feeding of goats

STALL FEEDING OF GOATS

  • The animals are not able to meet their nutritional requirements by browsing the poor quality vegetation.
  • Therefore stall-feeding is essential, to meet the nutrients.
  • The kids should be provided creep mixture and good quality fodder from 15 days of age.

Slatted floor housing of goats

  • For growing kids, a complete ration containing 9-10 % DCP and 62-64 % TDN with 25 % DM from good quality roughage can meet the requirements.

Green fodder and concentrate feed are fed to goats

  • Castrated male kids are specially raised for chevon production. Generally 1/3 of body weight is achieved during the finishing period.
  • During this period, a complete ration providing 5-6 % DCP and 60-65 % TDN is quite satisfactory.
