Fab food for elderly/toothless goats
« on: August 26, 2014, 03:28:04 pm »
Its a a newish feed down my way and is for horses. Its called Simple Systems Lucie pellets. I've got it for my donkeys and my goats because I'm finding it is really benefitting the goats who one is now seeming to be an elderly chap and for my poor doer donk is also helping. It contains 16-18% protein so for a thin goat is great but needs to be given lightly to the donkeys.

Its best soaked but soaks enough within an hour but can be left longer too. I've given it dry when I need to bribe them but doesn't upset them too much. It also has the sufficient vits and mins in it too so I'm giving this a brand a huge thumbs up!!! :thumbsup: and would recommend to other goatys to try. Its not super pricey and with the soaking, a little goes a long way!!!! Currently 1 20kg bag lasts 1 month with 2 greedy Nubian goats and 2 large riding donkeys. Given everyday probably a typical mugful and soaked for 10mins-1hour.

My girls get this as part of their ration  :thumbsup:
Our holding has Anglo Nubian and British Toggenburg goats, Gotland sheep, Franconian Geese, Blue Swedish ducks, a whole load of mongrel hens and two semi-feral children.

Its awesome stuff!!! Smells really tasty too. What gets me is after their meal both goats have a green mask of food where they've ploughed into it so fast ;D
