Goat Nutrition Basic goat nutrition is important, and adequate roughage is a vital factor in this equation. Weeds, grass, and hay can usually provide the necessary roughage requirement. If your goat is producing a lot milk though, you should add a concentrated feed to the goat's daily consumption. Many feeds on the market today include ingredients such as grains, legumes, wheat kernels, soybean mash, linseed meal, and wheat bran. (The New Goat Handbook, 1989; By: Ulrich Jaudas)
