FEEDING OF DRY GOATS 

• For the non-lactating i.e. dry goats, if sufficient grazing facilities are available, the maintenance requirements get satisfied by 8-9 hours of grazing on good quality pasture.
• However, during shortage of pasture, 200 g of concentrate mixture with 5-6% DCP and 55-60% TDN should be fed.

• For milch type dry goats 30% of dry matter should be fulfilled by concentrate mixture.
