Goats are one of those livestock that likes to eat different varities of grasses and forage feeds.Napier grass and para grass are 2 of them.Alaminos Goat Farm is having very good results with indigo.We like malunggay and mulberry,stylo,centro,ipil-ipil,rensonii,madre de cacao,flemingia,the list goes on.
some plants will be native to ypour area but some wil;l have to be introduced.Some forages will be used for their protein content while other are for roughage.In short,the different species you have available to your farem,the better for your goats.
