There are a tons of feeds ingredients that we could feed an animal the general rules is that as long you do not see any side effect then go for it. Just give it moderately until you can harvest.  Till then you will see whether it gives a good result or not.

By the way would you not earn more if you just sell the seaweeds rather than to feed it to your animal?

Is it not demand for seaweed are high especially for international market? Or that is another variety of sea weed?

Mr Nemo,you are right,do believe it is exported,we buy it from the people who harvest it,by the sack full,dry it and grind it and fed it to the livestock,has to be dried and mix it in their food,so far in the long run cheaper than store bought vitamins at least in our area,maybe not so in other areas,maybe it depends on where you live,so far it is working for us,I look at it this way,if it is good enough for humans must be good for livestock,maybe in the cities it would cost way too much. Have a nice day

Vitmain C is immunobooster.

Vitamin B are for appetite and energy boosting.

They keep the animal away from cold and diseases.

Goat cannot tolerate cold weather.

Most vitamin B injectable have also vitamin C.

If you have bayabas/guava tree you can give guava fruit to your goat in moderation. It is a good source of vitamins C.

Goats require 3 main vitamins: A & D & E and minerals,and fresh water always.

Support the goat
