Goat Feed Muesli: Tasty Concentrate with Visible Structure

Muesli as a concentrate for sheep and goats. Visible structure, readily taken even by fussy animals, handy in the 20 kg bag.

Goat Feed Muesli: Concentrate That Gets Eaten Up

Muesli is concentrate with visible structure. You can see the individual ingredients, and that is exactly what appeals to goats, which browse and like to choose. Here you will find muesli for sheep and goats in a 20 kg bag, made to go alongside hay and grazing. It suits dairy does, pregnant animals and any goat that needs to put on condition.

Why muesli works in the trough

Goats eat selectively and respond to smell and texture. A muesli is therefore often taken better than a straight pelleted feed, especially with young animals or after a change of ration. The loose mix combines easily with other ingredients, and a handful scattered over the usual ration brings many animals back to the trough. The order still matters: forage first, concentrate on top. Hay or fresh grass supply the crude fibre for the rumen, the muesli covers the extra energy and protein needed in lactation, pregnancy and rearing. Young stock coming off milk also settle onto solid feed more readily when the first portions are something they enjoy.

Amounts, feeding and storage

Feed muesli into a trough or a feed bowl rather than onto the floor. It stays clean, every goat gets her share and you can see at once which animal is off her feed. Split larger amounts into two feeds a day, which is easier on the rumen and guards against acidosis. When you change over, raise the amount slowly across one to two weeks. Remember that goats cannot take copper rich cattle or horse feed, which is why this muesli is labelled for sheep and goats together. Store the bag dry, cool and rodent proof, and keep opened bags closed.

Frequently asked questions

How much muesli does a goat get a day?
That depends on weight, pregnancy and milk yield. Forage covers the basic requirement, the muesli tops it up in small portions spread across the day.

Is the muesli also suitable for sheep?
Yes. It is labelled as feed for sheep and goats and kept low in copper, so it suits a mixed group in the same shed.

What size are the bags?
The muesli comes in a 20 kg bag. That size is easy to carry, stores neatly and works for small and medium herds alike.

Muesli as a concentrate for goats

Muesli is the loose, structured way to feed concentrate. The ingredients stay visible, the smell appeals to the animals, and fussy goats in particular take it well. Here you will find muesli for sheep and goats in a 20 kg bag that works alongside hay and grazing. It makes sense wherever extra demand arises: in lactation, in the last third of pregnancy, during rearing or when an animal needs to put on condition. Feed the muesli into a trough and split larger amounts into two feeds a day so the rumen stays settled. When changing over, raise the amount slowly across one to two weeks. The feed is deliberately kept low in copper and therefore suits sheep and goats together, which saves a lot of work in a mixed herd. Store the bag dry, cool and rodent proof, and keep opened bags closed so the mix stays loose.
