Title: Feeding advice
Post by: Biskit on July 22, 2018, 09:00:57 pm

I am currently feeding my goats a high yield goat mix ( badminton)
Am I right in guessing this has copper within the mix??
Thanks in advance

It should say on the bag, if not phone the company and ask. Many of them don't anymore...

I just have looked online and couldn’t see copper - so thought I would ask ! I will have to ring them tomorrow

No luck getting through to manufacture so looked into other feeds and found “happy hoof” fibre I use for my horses has copper so will try giving the goats a little in their feed !!
Also purchased a conditioning mix (for horses )to help my Nannie gain some weight !!
