The housing of the goat

Milk goats are easy to accommodate, although the stable floor must be covered with a thick layer of straw.
The barn is also not allowed to go, goats can be excellent against the cold but are sensitive to drafts.
They also can not cope with the often fast temperature differences in our climate. They also can not withstand heat. Make sure that next to the goat stable is an enclosed walkway where the goats can graze and move freely.

Goats need good care like all other house / farm animals!
In addition to a clean dry house, good food consisting of some concentrate, fresh green or grass and hay. Furthermore, they have to be dewormed regularly and several times a year the hoofs have to be cut or cut.
They are real group animals that feel lonely when they are alone.
Because of their enterprising nature, they are cozy animals that can also be destroyed. Housing and fencing must therefore be able to withstand a knock.
Every goat farmer must now be registered with the Animal Health Service and is obliged to register by means of ear numbers.
Transporting the animals is also subject to all kinds of legal rules.
