A mix of cereals and pulses optimised for the high yielding dairy goat. Should be introduced about 2 weeks before kidding, starting with just a few handfuls, and gradually building up to about 0.5kg a day by the time the kids are born. After the birth of kids, the feed should be slowly increased to about 2kg a day. A milking goat producing about 4.5 litres of milk a day will need about 2kg of mix a day. Depending on the individual goat, you may need to increase the amount further if she is producing more milk, by about 1kg for every extra gallon of milk, though the goat may not want to eat this much. As a matter of policy, we have taken a positive attitude towards producing non-genetically modified feed. We use only identity preserved soya and maize grown from non-GM seed. Whilst these crops are not guaranteed, we feel we have taken every possible precaution to ensure that you have the minimal exposure to any possible GM presence. We show all our ingredients on our labels. Another aspect that makes these feeds stand out from the ordinary is the back-up and support that is available with them. Membership of the Small Holder Club (free on application) entitles members to feeding guides, seasonal tips and other general advice on an ad hoc basis. A feeding helpline is also available for those questions that you have always wanted to ask but were never quite sure about!
