I inherited two Nubian does when I bought a small farm. They had a salt lick but not complete loose minerals. I set up free choice minerals up for them and now both, but one in particular, are gorging on it. I took it away because it didn’t seem healthy. Then started rationing it. Im using MannaPro—noting especially tasty in there.
I’ve heard that goats regulate themselves, but IDK. Am I right I’m assuming that as they resolve deficiencies, I can put the free choice feeder back up & they won’t eat themselves to death?
Both are fairly healthy goats. The one that really goes crazy for minerals has a rough coat & is smaller, not as pretty and well formed. You wouldn’t look at her and think she was sickly though.
