Goat farming on small areas

Species-appropriate husbandry, utilisation, breed portraits

Keeping goats on small areas is becoming increasingly popular. This is not only because goat's milk and its products are high-quality foods with a delicate flavour and are increasingly appreciated. Goats are also extremely lovable farm animals that become very trusting and can also be used wonderfully for landscape maintenance.
In this book, you will learn how to keep and care for these friendly farm animals in a species-appropriate way with relatively little effort, even on small areas.

  • Anatomy, physiology and behaviour of goats
  • Correct feeding, important feed plants and feed components
  • Year-round and seasonal husbandry
  • the optimal design of a goat shed
  • Grazing and pasture management
  • Prevention and treatment of diseases
  • Breeding as well as milk and meat production
  • Legal principles and funding opportunities for goat farming

Breed portraits in words and pictures of 20 goat breeds, which are particularly popular in our country, round off the book and offer the reader an overview of the many different types of appearance and at the same time a decision-making aid when choosing the right breed(s).

Pre Alpin Testudo Herbs
Weight: 1.5kg
Pre Alpin Testudo Herbs for tortoises Feeding PRE ALPIN Testudo Herbs provides the animals with species-appropriate food that is customised to the digestive system of tortoises. offer a diet adapted to the natural habitats of tortoises provide an optimal supply of raw fibres and thus ensure the maintenance of healthy intestinal flora contain no grain or animal ingredients offer an ideal calcium-phosphorus ratio can be offered freely at any time are free from flavourings and preservatives are recommended by the Institute of Zoology in Munich The diet of wild tortoises is always based on the natural conditions of the vegetation. In their original habitats, the actual growing season is usually limited to a short period, which is replaced by drought and heat from midsummer to autumn. In spring, the crude fibre content of the plants is relatively low and the protein content is high. Over the course of the summer, the herbs and grasses "age". The crude fibre content therefore increases in midsummer, whereas the protein content then drops sharply.In order to meet the needs of the organism, the composition of the feed should be adapted to the seasonal cycle. Tortoises are herbivores that require food of impeccable quality. By observing tortoises living in the wild and studying their physique and digestive tract, it becomes clear which food is most suitable for tortoises. The animals' well-developed appendix enables them to obtain sufficient nutrients from grasses and herbs rich in crude fibre and low in protein. The content of agricultural meadows, which are usually heavily fertilised, is too rich for tortoises and can lead to a variety of diseases. The food available to tortoises in their natural biotope is similar to the species-rich rough pastures of the Alpine foothills. With a natural, herb-rich diet and good husbandry, tortoises reach an advanced age. Feeding PRE ALPIN Testudo Herbs and PRE ALPIN Testudo Fibre provides the animals with species-appropriate food that is adapted to the digestive system of tortoises. PRE ALPIN Testudo Herbs and Testudo Fibre are therefore a valuable main component of the daily feed ration. This is because the combination of fresh rough pasture plants, with over 60 different types of grasses and herbs, provides the animal with a rich and balanced diet. PRE ALPIN Testudo Herbs and Testudo Fibre for all tortoises.
