The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) process allows producers to converse with wholesale food processing customers using the same food safety blueprint and language. HACCP works at the producer level as it does for customers receiving on-farm products. It requires producers to conduct a hazard analysis to determine what significant hazards can occur at each step of production at the farm level. This must be done to plan for and execute a program that will prevent or control …
These are four diets used in an experiment investigating protein requirements of meat goats. Diet CD8, which was lowest in CP, supported live weight gain lower than that with the other treatments. The rate of growth of goats consuming CD9, CD10 or CD11 was similar among treatments. Trace mineral and vitamin premixes are those used for CD2.

This is a 75 percent concentrate diet used in a recent experiment with different breeds of weaned goats, including Alpine, Angora, Boer and Spanish. It has a fairly high level of CP to ensure that growth would not be limited by protein. Ammonium chloride and white salt are included to minimize problems with urinary calculi. Trace mineral and vitamin premixes are those used for CD2. Chromic oxide was included as a marker to allow the …
Langston University uses some pelleted supplements for different types of forages when animals are not on experiments. They are designed to be fed at various levels with diets based on forage that is either being grazed or harvested. Typically, animals also have access to a trace mineralized salt block. In some cases, the pellets have been fed alone for short periods of time. The moderate protein pellet is used with forages that are low in …
This is a 50 percent concentrate diet used in the same experiment in which CD12 was fed. It also has a fairly high level of CP to ensure that growth would not be limited by protein. Ammonium chloride and white salt are included to minimize problems with urinary calculi, although levels are lower than with CD12, which is higher in concentrate. Trace mineral and vitamin premixes are those used for CD2. Chromic oxide was included …
This pellet is used with forages that have moderate to high levels of crude protein (CP). The trace mineral and vitamin premix is that given for S1. The calculated composition of the pellet on a dry matter basis is:
| CP – 13.3% | |
| TDN – 74.8% | |
| Ca – 1.02% | |
| P – 0.51% | |
| Cu – 14.2 ppm | |
| Se – 0.34 ppm | |
| Zn – 142 ppm | |
| Ingredient | % (air dry basis) |
| Cottonseed hulls | 15.00 |
| Alfalfa meal | 19.00 |

The 20-percent concentrate diet shown below was used in an experiment in late lactation. The level of milk production by doelings supported by this diet was similar to that of higher dietary concentrate levels. However, milk production by does consuming this diet was less than production by does consuming diets with 35-percent or 50-percent concentrate. Trace mineral and vitamin premixes are those used for CD2. The calculated composition on a dry matter basis is:…
The S3 supplement has been used to supplement growing/yearling goats grazing or consuming harvested forages with low crude protein (CP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN) levels. The feeding rate is 0.75 percent of body weight on a dry matter basis, or about 0.83 percent of body weight on an as-fed basis. For a 30-kilogram (66-pound) goat, this would be 0.25 kilograms, as fed, or 0.55 pounds. Because some of the other treatments …
The 35-percent concentrate diet shown below was used in an experiment in late lactation. The level of milk production by doelings supported by this diet was similar to that of other dietary concentrate levels. However, milk production by does consuming this diet tended to be less than production by does consuming diets with 50-percent concentrate, but greater than diets with 20-percent concentrate. Trace mineral and vitamin premixes are those used for CD2. The calculated …
