Nutrition..
Is the Highest Cost Associated with
Production!

Doe Nutrition..Define the stage of production and feed
accordingly• Dry• Breeding• Early Gestation• Late gestation• Lactation
![Page 23: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Dry Period.. Period between weaning and breeding Lowest nutrient requirements
Good quality pasture should meet most requirement needs
Regain weight lost during lactationNeed 2% of body weightNeed minerals free choice - salt, Ca, P
No pasture? Grass Hay and .5-1.5# 16% CP pelleted (preferred) ration
![Page 24: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Breeding Period..• Increase feed intake 2 - 3 weeks prior
to breeding – Known as “Flushing”• Increase ovulation rate 5 - 10%
• Flushing• 1#/Hd/Day of Corn• Monitor body condition score to avoid
under or over conditioned goats• Too fat or too thin• Best at BCS 2 - Greater response
![Page 25: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Early Gestation..• First 100 days (gestation 150 days)
• Similar to dry feeding
• Very little fetal growth
• Take advantage of forage
• Monitor body condition score
![Page 26: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Late Gestation..• Last 50 days (gestation time 150 days)• Most critical time – 70% of fetal
growth• Poor nutrition costs production
• Low birth weights, mothering ability, low milk production, ketosis
• Utilize pasture and supplement feeding• Need 4 - 4.5% of body weight• 2# - 4# good quality hay + 2# corn
![Page 27: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Lactation..• Doe nutrition is the key to early kid
growth
• Lactation peaks at 2 - 4 weeks
• Utilize pasture
• Feed at 4 - 5% body weight• 3# - 4# good hay + 3# - 4# grain
![Page 28: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Buck Nutrition• Utilize pasture when available
• Monitor body condition 3-4 weeks prior to breeding• 4# of hay + 2# of grain
• Monitor body condition during breeding
![Page 29: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What to Feed..• 14 - 16% CP ration• 50 - 60% TDN• .75 - 1% ammonium chloride• Coccidiastat• Salt and mineral• Ca:P @ 2:1 ratio
![Page 30: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Kid Nutrition..• Start kids on creep as soon as possible
• Feed a 16% CP pelleted ration
• Contains a coccidiastat
• Maintains a 2:1 Ca to P ratio
Keep fresh water available in smaller containers that kids can reach at all
times!
![Page 31: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Reproduction..Economic Success!
• Estrous cycle is 18 - 21 days• Short day breeders (Oct. - Dec.)• Flushing
• ½ - 1# per head per day of corn• Deworm prior• Turn on to new pasture
• Monitor BCS (1 - 5)• BCS of 2 for best results
![Page 32: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Reproduction..• The Buck effect
• Synchronizing
• Controlled breeding season• Efficient management of facilities
• Puberty• 6-10 months
• Breed doe kids – weight (80#)• Separate buck kids
![Page 33: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Reproduction..• Accelerated Kidding
• 3 crops in 2 years
• High input
• BSE on Bucks• Semen, libido, testicles, health
• Trim feet
• Good body condition
![Page 34: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Health..• Diseases and Problems
• Ketosis
• Overeating
• Parasites (worms)
• Coccidia
• Foot rot or scald
• Pinkeye
• General sickness
![Page 35: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Health..Last Trimester
• Ketosis• Feeding management
• Vaccinate for Clostridial organisms, tetanus (CD/T) 2-4 weeks prior • Gives immunity to the kids
• Vitamin E and Selenium (if needed)
• Deworm – periparturient rise (check dewormer for abortion possibility)
![Page 36: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Health..Deworming
Establish a program Check fecal samples Use FAMACHA
Deworm only when neededRotate wormers yearly or when there
is no response“Families” or classes of products
Give orally
![Page 37: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Health..Deworming
Hold feed - leave in pen (12-48 hrs) Rotate to clean pastures Do not under dose
Metabolism is 3.5 times that of larger species
Rule of thumb – Use at 2.5 X cattle rate Calculate rate based on the heaviest doe
Select animals with resistance

Notes: 1.This budget is for planning purposes--use only as a guide. Use column on the right to adjust these figures to fit your operation. 2.The market for goats in Mississippi is not well-defined. Income figures depend on location and individual access to market outlets. 3.Expense items are based on the production parameters specified.

Influences on Lean Meat Yield
● Conformation- relative shape of body comparing size, mass, and shape of muscles compared with size, mass, and shape of body
● Relative proportion of muscle to fat/bone
● Relative body size (weight or circumference of heart girth, barrel, or limbs)

Other Carcass Evaluation Criteria
● Flank lean color – consumers desire light pink meat color
● Kidney, heart, and pelvic fat- fat is left in carcass to prevent drying, but is waste
● Subcutaneous fat cover score – – external fat deposited behind shoulder
and over ribs, not over back or legs– depth is not uniformly distributed for
measurement

Goat Carcass Fabrication and Cuts● Foodservice and many retail companies
want standardization of primal and retail cuts, usually portion controlled
● Institutional Meat Purchase Specifications (IMPS) provide for portion control and uniform cutting/fabrication
● IMPS for fresh goat (IMPS series 11) were developed for goat meat based upon carcass sizes, resulting in 5 different cutting styles
![Page 77: MEAT GOAT 101 Market Goat Production Kipp Brown - Area Agent 4-H Livestock/Meat Goats Mississippi State University Extension Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55190de355034642428b47fd/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
