Feeding the notoriously fussy Pygmy Goat
As most owners will have experienced, pygmy goats are full of individual quirks and characteristics. For example, it is not uncommon for pygmy goats to easily gain extra weight and yet they are also notoriously fussy eaters! This can certainly prove challenging when they decide they don’t like their food. Feeding a highly palatable supplementary feed such as Smallholder Range Pygmy Goat Mix with their forage ration will help overcome these hurdles.
Smallholder Range Pygmy Goat Mix is a balanced daily meal for your goat when you feed at the recommended amounts along with access to hay and grass. It also contains the correct ratio of calcium to phosphorus, which is important for wethers (castrated goats) that can be susceptible to urinary stones. The high fibre levels within the Pygmy Goat Mix helps support the digestive system, promote rumination and increases their fibre intake whilst the low energy level will support a healthy weight.
Pygmy Goat Mix contains dried fruit and vegetables such as apples, carrots, pineapple as well as herbs including mint and fenugreek. These tasty ingredients mimic their natural browsing behaviour as well as add interest and variety to their diet. The inclusion of flavourful ingredients like mint and dried carrot pieces makes it a highly palatable feed even to the fussiest of feeders and means the days of trying to encourage them to eat by using high energy and calorie root vegetables are over. Smallholder Range Pygmy Goat Mix keeps feeding times simple!
