| Anyone with the right information can be good at keeping and raising goats for fun or profit. Keeping goats is never a tedious task because goats are unique and never boring. They have charming personalities and are easy to breed if you use common sense when working with them. Sheep and goats are completely different species with completely different characteristics, nutritional requirements and environmental needs.
Be sure to check food labels to make sure your goats aren\'t accidentally fed the wrong food. Raw grain cannot be digested by sheep and males. Keep in mind that it can make them sick or even kill them. If you are new to goat care, consult a veterinarian about your husband\'s needs to keep him healthy. He can recommend the appropriate supplements, feeds and amounts for your goat.
Feed your goat dry oats in small amounts to supplement their diet. Goats will eat any kind of twigs and leaves that are close enough to get there. They love treats, like a child or a dog. Take it easy, because too many treats can do your goat more harm than good.
Fresh hay is one of the best foods you can give your goat. Green fodder always contains more nutrients than brown fodder. Keep your goats\' water clean and plentiful. Keeping your water ice-free in cold weather is a plus. It\'s a good idea to have ore blocks scattered around for easy access. Don\'t forget the salt. Have a block of salt ready for her.
A balanced grain supplement should be available to women when expecting babies. It is to your benefit and that of the children to feed them healthy foods. The condition of your goats can tell you how much grain you need to supplement their diet for optimal health. The same goes for supplementing lactation with more protein as this is important in their infant milk.
Paws should be groomed every few weeks to prevent foot rot.
For maximum health, have your goats vaccinated against tetanus and other vaccines annually. Watch the goats move slowly as they are fed. This might be a strong indicator that your goat might be ill. Dull, thin, or coarse hair can indicate intestinal parasites or possibly a poor diet. Finally, look for signs of leg bending (backwards or inward) as this may indicate a nutrient deficiency.
The best goat to raise is a Nubian goat.
Nubian goat breeding
Original and not common, their incredible colors and their large drooping ears exude a nonchalant and very endearing sympathy. Character level on the farm we love them, they are almost closer to a pet than a farm goat! Sweet and docile, the mini nubian goat has only one owner to whom it can be very close and has emotional memory, like dogs.
They are clumsy animals that do not seek conflict in the herd, the balance of power is almost non-existent. Independent, they can be content to live as a couple or in a small group.
