Goatzilla

Breeding Goats

Does expend a lot of energy during pregnancy and lactation and they require the extra calories provided by Goatzilla. Does are tremendous mothers, both before and after birth. Because twin, triplet, and quadruplet births are not uncommon among does, the physiological toll and energy requirements of the developing fetuses can sap a doe of the calories she consumes. If sufficient calories are not provided in her ration, a condition called pregnancy toxemia might develop. Inadequate nutrition during late pregnancy is the primary cause of pregnancy toxemia. Like many other mammals, the majority of fetal growth occurs in late pregnancy. Following kidding, does must produce sufficient milk to adequately support the growth of her kids. Goatzilla increases the energy density of the feed so does have more calories at their disposal during late gestation and lactation.

When should I start my doe on Goatzilla?

Does should be started on Goatzilla during late gestation. They benefit most from being fed Goatzilla throughout their time in kidding pens and through at least the first month of lactation.

Goatzilla safely provides energy for breeding bucks too. Bucks use more energy posturing and preparing for breeding season than they do actually breeding does. Much effort and aggression is used during this “rutting” period, and bucks often lose a tremendous amount of body condition. Despite being offered sufficient feed, owners sometimes find it difficult to maintain weight on bucks throughout breeding season.

When is the best time to supplement my buck with Goatzilla?

Bucks should be fed Goatzilla two weeks prior to the initiation of breeding season, through the duration of the breeding season, and then about a month after breeding season. 

How much should I feed and how should I feed Goatzilla?

Goatzilla should be fed to adult goats at the rate of 4 ounces (1 scoop) per goat. Goatzilla can be fed with a fortified diet without upsetting the balance of trace minerals. Goatzilla is a palatable meal, which prevents sorting by goats. This meal can be blended into either pelleted or textured feed.

What happens if I just increase the amount of grain I am feeding to my breeding stock?

In an effort to offset the weight loss caused by this increased workload, breeders will often overfeed grain and underfeed roughage. This sets the stage for urinary calculi formation and the health risks associated with it.  Feeding Goatzilla allows a breeder to provide additional energy without overfeeding grain. Additionally Goatzilla will support normal urinary pH and decrease the risks of urinary calculi formation.

What do you mean when you say Goatzilla is research proven?

In controlled studies conducted at Texas State University by Dr. Greg  Pollard, goats fed Goatzilla did not have a single incidence of urinary calculi, but goats fed a similar diet without Goatzilla had urinary calculi occurrences between 25-38%. Goatzilla is a revolutionary supplement that increases dietary energy, provides natural protein and yeast culture, and effectively increases the acidity of the diet without the risk of ammonia toxicity.
