Goats are efficient browsers and can select a high-quality diet from lower-quality forages, especially when consuming nontraditional pasture plants (e.g., weeds, shrubs). The National Research Council recently released the rst issue of Nutrient Requirements of Small Ruminants addressing the nutrient requirements for goats along with those for sheep and various cervid and camelid species. manganese requirements for goats are estimated by (NRC 2007) using the factorial method; they vary between 7.71 and 23.94 mg/kg diet DM based on the type of animal and stage of production; maximum tolerable level for Mn in sheep and cattle diets is 2,000 mg/kg diet DM (NRC 2005) this level has been extrapolated to goat feed Dry does and non- breeding mature bucks will meet their nutritional requirements on low to medium quality forage (10-12% protein and 50-60% TDN). 0000229709 00000 n 0000004533 00000 n Nutrient requirements of sheep and goats 0000235260 00000 n 0000154833 00000 n Requirements for minerals have not been established definitively for goats at either maintenance or production levels. 0000162178 00000 n 0000024970 00000 n 0000234894 00000 n These requirements vary with the animalâs body weight, sex, the stage of pregnancy and lactation. 0000236175 00000 n 0000235443 00000 n April 7, 2018 April 6, 2018. 0000228672 00000 n 0000234833 00000 n Perhaps the first prominent publication on the nutrient requirements of goats was that of NRC (1981), which has received deserved widespread usage. 0000047241 00000 n 0000034840 00000 n 0000230136 00000 n 0000230624 00000 n 0000235931 00000 n 0000233247 00000 n "k�c�&>vk�O}\cG6� ��'�i�k��8qm�?�)��D�e��m�J��ldoc�n�ߦ�H��1o�܍(7v��n�֘z�m��m��3}��mE�YEiv��xƾ�v�"��@�vv��P��T�vG��.c�>ݮ�j |��B��BJ�T�讐"��]!�Q �N��_e�:��_%�]]�]��7��_�|��eG��T$��^P�>��Borb�M��m�]��`��w�թH�m��^;�Lr~ �x�o(29E�� 0000029919 00000 n 2015-41595-24254 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
