Nutritional Requirements of Dairy Goats

The nutritional requirements of a dairy goat will differ depending on it's stage of growth, pregnancy and/or lactation. Below is a guideline for the basic needs at different stages. We recommend following these guidelines in conjunction with a dairy goat nutritionist and/or your veterinarian.

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.
