Synopsis

For over 8,000 years ago, people have been learning about goat farming. Today it can be stated what influences their proper development. One of the most important elements is nutrition, and therefore the taste preferences of goats. Goats are able to distinguish the degree of contamination of the feed and refuse to eat it. Goats prefer to eat pelleted feed rather than finely ground feed. However, when animals refuse to eat pellets, it is possible to add flavor to the feed to make it more attractive to them. Forage and roughage do not need to be flavored, because it is the way it is served.
