Purina Mills® Show Chow® Goat Ration is a complete and balanced ration in pelleted form. It provides the nutritional extras kids need in both the growing and finishing phases. There is no need to add roughage or grain to the ration. Purina Mills® Show Chow® Goat Ration meets the specific nutritional needs of growing and finishing goats. 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 Mills® Show Chow® Goat Ration.

 

Feed free-choice, having Show Chow® Goat Ration before kids at all times. Once your kids reach their desired weight, you may wish to reduce the amount of Purina Mills® Show Chow® Goat Ration and increase the amount of free-choice hay to maintain them in an ideal body condition. For lactating does, feed 3-5 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight depending upon their state of lactation. To maintain adult animals, feed 1-2 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight along with adequate roughage or pasture. These are only guidelines for consumption. Feed consumption will vary with life stage, environment and activity.

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:  Store in a dry, well-ventilated area free from all rodents and insects. Do not use moldy or insect-infested feed.
