Hello everyone, I'm looking for suggestions to prevent/minimise feed (pellets) going to waste? I have NDG and Saanen (polled and horned). The NDG especially are naughty - they flip their "troughs" upside down and drag them around, so the feed ends up on the floor or wet if it rains or overnight (dew/frost).
The "troughs" are just plastic barrels cut in half lengthwise. I like using these because they have handles, they're light and very easy to clean but the waste is starting to outweigh the advantages.
I feed them twice a day which helps a bit. I've tried feeding them as much as they can eat in 20 minutes (previous suggestion) but that didn't work because they're used to free choice.
So, what do you do to prevent feed going to waste?
