Dairy Goat Nutrition

The predominant goat feeding system is the cut and carry system. Silage is also used to supplement the fresh pasture fed for a reasonable portion of the year simply as a way of balancing their diet and providing a denser nutrient loading.

Disclaimer:

The resources here are based on our own farming experience for the purpose of providing some introductory knowledge and tips.. Whilst our operation is fairly 'typical' of this industry, the examples and targets are not indicative of every dairy goat operation in New Zealand..  We encourage the use of additional material and support networks such as other farmers, your veterinarian and nutrition specialists. This information is predominantly based around indoor cut and carry farming systems but much of the information will be equally as relevant to other dairy goat farming systems.

 

Any opinions expressed or inferred here are my own personal views and not necessarily representative of the wider diary goat industry.
