Total Goat® is a complete, extruded goat feed formulated to provide the essential nutrients for maximum health, growth and reproduction. Ingredients used in Total Goat® are of the highest quality and provide excellent bioavailability of nutrients to the animal. Total Goat® is a complete, extruded feed for all ages of goats from breeding to show goats. Formulated to provide all of the essential nut
rients goats require for health, growth and reproduction. Protein – The protein in Total Goat® is from all natural sources. Energy – The energy in Total Goat® is derived from highly available starch and fiber in extruded grain and fiber. The extrusion process improves digestibility of both starch and fiber. The main source of fiber is derived from alfalfa. Soluble starch turns to sugar, which increases bacterial growth in the rumen. Sugar is the best source of carbon units for the microflora in the rumen to use with ammonia from the breakdown of the natural protein to use in building new cells. Major Minerals – Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium are critical major minerals for growth, reproduction and lactation. They are required in specific ratios and levels for maximum performance. Total Goat® is formulated to contain these critical minerals at levels and ratios for all conditions. Trace Minerals – Trace minerals act as catalysts for most chemical reactions in the animal’s body. All feedstuffs contain trace minerals, but the levels are variable and the bioavailability of each is not well known. Inadequate trace mineral intake can result in slow growth, low reproductive performance and inadequate immune function. Total Goat® is formulated to meet not only minimum, but optimum levels of trace minerals for maximum performance. To insure adequate bioavailability, Total Goat® contains a minimum of 50% of the copper, manganese and Zinc as Amino Acid Chelates; which is the most bioavailable form known. Vitamins – Vitamins act as catalysts and antioxidants to start chemical reactions in the body and reduce cell aging and destruction. Total Goat® contains levels of vitamins A & E that assist in preventing cell destruction due to oxidative chemicals from the environment and from metabolic by-products. Theoretically a ruminant animal does not require B-complex vitamins for good performance, however, Total Goat® contains a broad spectrum of B-complex vitamins to maximize the growth of the microflora in the rumen; which improves the digestibility of the fiber in the ration. Ascophyllum nodosum – Total Goat® contains Tasco™ brand of A. nodosum; which is documented by science to improve immune function, improve heat stress resistance, improve fiber digestibility, improve milk production, improve carcass quality and control E. Producers also report improved definition, improved semen quality and improves conception rates. Feeding Directions:
Feed Total Goat® at a rate of 1.5 to 3.0% of bodyweight/day along with good quality hay or grass. Supply clean, fresh water free-choice. Offer free-choice salt at all times. Feed as a supplement to lactating, gestating females and breeding males at the rate of 2.0 lb. per head per day along with good quality roughage. Extrusion – Physical processing of feed makes a great difference in the digestibility of the major ingredients and the bioavailability of micronutrients. The extrusion process is one that prepares ingredients with a high temperature and moisture and then exposes them to an extreme pressure to expose the starches and fibers. This in turn provides a greater surface area for enzymes and bacteria to attach to, which accelerates the digestive process. Extrusion maximizes the digestibility of feed. Total Goat®
