Ive been reading "natural goat care" and the author seems to think that a daily feed with a good bit of copper with dolomite and sulfur (to counteract any copper poisoning) will pretty much keep goats in top health.
no worms, no hoof rot, easy birth, reduces chance of bloat, ect...
the feed recipie is:
.5 teaspoon a week of copper sulfate
2.5 teaspoon a day of dolomite
1 teaspoon a day of sulfur
the copper sulfate is mixed with apple cider vinegar and then soaked into barley for 24 hours. that is then mixed into the dry feed.
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of feed regimen?
my biggest challenge is keeping track of what each goat is eating. does anyone feed each goat individually? how does everyone feed their goats?
