Here we are at the first of Oct. Our little goat has done well all summer with little or no treatment other than proper diet. I haven't had to give him any more of the AC after slowly bring him off of it. I am now watching him closely with the the temp. change. Thanks to all of you that...

Just a short update! So far everything is going great, everything is continuing to flow (sorry) he seems to be acting normal in every way other than be spoiled rotten from all the attention. As it stands he is getting Goat feed once aday and not much of that along with hay & minerals free...

Yes they are on the package. It is non-medicated and has no AC in it or the minerals. I will be checking the other farm stores when I run out of this for feed/minerals with AC.

Today will be the first day without AC drench. I have to say that I am nervous. They also don't seem to be eating any minerals. I had a friend that raised goats suggest that I continue to drench once a week, then once every two weeks ect until I see that he isn't going to clog back up. Do...

I bought meat goat feed for my two. I started mixing it last night with what they have been on to get them switched over. I need to check to see if it is medicated. AC= ammonium chloride, is this something I can buy or will it come in the food/minerals. I am way behind the learning curve...

Let me start off by saying I am a newbie! Here and to goats. I hope my questions aren't too silly. What is AC? I am currently having problems with UC in a young male Boer goat. Had him at the vet this morning. I am ashamed to say that I feel way out of my leauge. We were feeding them what...
