Hubbard® Life 14% Goat Finisher is a palatable, nutrient dense goat finisher formulated specifically to be fed to goats sixteen-weeks-of-age through market.
Palatability
Hubbard Life Goat Finisher is formulated with high quality, palatable ingredients to promote feed intake.
Ammonium Chloride
Ammonium chloride helps prevent urinary calculi (water belly). Hubbard Life Goat Finisher provides ammonium chloride and provide the proper calcium to phosphorus ratio to further help reduce instances of urinary calculi.
Pelleted Feeds
Pelleting prevents the separation of the various ingredients. Each bite of feed is the same, high quality feed. Some products may also be available in a texturized (sweet feed) form.
Added Yeast
Research has suggested that the addition of yeast in the diet will create an environment in the rumen that allows the “bugs” to work more efficiently for better fiber (hay and pasture) utilization.
Part of a Complete Feeding Program
Designed for the specific growth and performance stages of an animal. Specific emphasis is placed on maximum muscle growth in the meat breeds. Optimal tissue (udder, GI tract, bone) development is the goal in developing excellent milking replacements. Supplying proper nutrition for prime milk production is the objective for milking does.
Drug Options
All approved drug options are added to Hubbard Life Goat Feeds. Floor stocked medicated feeds will vary by location depending upon requests. Drug options of Deccox® and Rumensin® are available for cocci control and growth promotion.
Mineral Fortification
Special care is given to ensure that the levels of trace minerals, including zinc are added to the feeds. In addition, new technologies have produced more readily absorbed minerals called proteinated minerals including a new organic selenium product on the market, Sel-Plex®. These minerals have been incorporated into all the Hubbard Life Goat Feeds.
Vitamin Fortification
In addition to the proper levels of vitamins A, D and E, the B-complex vitamins have been added to help production and performance shine in the face of stressors like fast growth, heavy milking, heat and transporting.
