Sheep and goat feed – produce your own and adapt it to the season and your needs

🐐 Feed for sheep and goats

When you produce feed for sheep and goats yourself, you can adjust rations according to season, pregnancy, lactation and growth. This results in better feed utilisation, improved health and stable production results. On this page, you will gain insight into how to make optimal use of roughage and concentrates, control mineral content and ensure uniform feed for the entire herd.

🌾 Why is producing your own feed an advantage for sheep and goats?

Answer:
Sheep and goats have feed requirements that vary significantly throughout the year, depending on whether the animals are in maintenance, gestation, lactation or growth. By producing the feed yourself, you can tailor the rations precisely to the individual production phase and thus ensure both health and optimal utilisation of the feed.

🌾 How is roughage best utilized in the feeding of sheep and goats?

Answer:
Sheep and goats are well suited to utilizing roughage from grasslands and natural areas. By combining your own roughage with targeted use of home-mixed concentrate feed, you can ensure balanced feeding without oversupply. This is particularly important for maintaining stable production and avoiding feeding-related problems.

🌾 How important is mineral management in your own feed production?

Answer:
Mineral supply is a key element in feeding sheep and goats. Your own feed production allows you to control the content of minerals such as selenium, zinc and copper very precisely. This is particularly important as sheep are sensitive to high copper levels, and the right balance is crucial for the health and welfare of the animals.

🌾 How does producing your own feed ensure stable feeding all year round?

Answer:
By producing and storing roughage of known quality, you can ensure stable feeding even during periods when fresh grass is not available. Combined with home-mixed concentrate feed, this allows you to adapt feeding to seasonal needs and create a stable basis for both production and animal welfare.
