Feeding Directions
Description Feed as the sole diet to growing goats from weaning to desired weight. Feed at a rate of 0.25 to 2.5 pounds per head per day along with good quality grass hay. Can also be fed free-choice to high-producing goats on range or under dry lot conditions after they have acclimated to this ration.
These are only guidelines for consumption. Some goats may have a tendency to go off feed. When this occurs, feed long stem grass hay for two to three days then continue feeding Purina® Goat Grower Grower 16. Feed consumption will vary with life stage, environment and activity. Always provide adequate amounts of fresh, clean water.
In groups of goats there are certain animals that experience chronic bloat, or other digestive disturbances and consequently, are poor performers. In addition, excess feed consumption, severe weather changes resulting in erratic feed consumption and poorly managed feeding practices, can increase the incidence of bloat in all goats. If bloating occurs, the above management practices should be reviewed and your veterinarian consulted.
Caution Do not feed to sheep. This product contains copper. Bentonite should not be used in decoquinate feeds. Store in dry, well ventilated area, protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, abortion or death.
Special Considerations This product is available regionally, so please check with your local Purina® dealer for ordering details.
Warning Do not allow horses or other equines access to feeds containing monensin. Ingestion of monensin by horses has been fatal.
