uttermilk from milk and butter to ferment his alfalfa with? Can the alfalfa go bad? I've had it a long time. At least 3 or 4 months. It should still be ok though right?

Nope, Birds are highly lactose intolerant.

Oh, ok. How do I ferment his cubes then? Also, they're dumor alfalfa cubes. Can they go bad? I've had them a while. We give them to the rabbits sometimes and they eat them.

I've seen a lot of posts that say buttermilk is fine could I use ACV instead?

Use a little Greek yogurt. You need active enzymes. Fake buttermilk won't cut it. There isn't enough lacotse left in yogurt to hurt even the most lactose intolerant poultry. People feed yogurt to their flocks all the time.

It always comes down to amounts. Small amounts of dairy is fine. No problem.

Do I have to use it? Just wondered. What kind of yogurt? Can it be flavored?

 

[azygous]

Greek style yogurt to be sure you're getting active enzymes. No sugar no flavor, use plain. Give the goose some. He may like it. It will do his digestive tract good to plant the enzymes in it.

What can I do with the extra? No one here likes it.

See if your goose will eat some of it. It's good for his plumbing. If you have a septic system, flush it down the toilet. The enzymes are also good for your house plumbing.

That sounds like flushing money down the toilet. Jk couldn't resist. Ok thank you

How do I ferment the cubes? Like what are the measurements for water, yogurt etc.
