Goatzilla

Research

Based on university research and feeding experiences, the incidence of urinary calculi can be reduced or eliminated completely with proper urine acidification in ruminants.The most common method of urine acidification to date has been the addition of ammonia-containing products (ammonium chloride or ammonium sulfate) to the diet; however, over supplementing with these types of products is risky because of the possibility of ammonia toxicity.  

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.” 

—Greg Pollard, Ph.D., Texas State University, San Marcos

Dr. Pollard has over 10 years of experience in nutritional management of small ruminants with a special emphasis on meat goats. He has conducted research specifically focused on improving meat goat performance and production. During this time, Dr. Pollard has actively consulted the feed industry on proper nutritional guidelines and feed formulations for small ruminant animals. Over the course of his career, his work has been widely published in academic journals.
