Natural Goat and Alpaca Care - Softcover
This comprehensive and easily understood book is intended to help goat and alpaca farmers. It covers all aspects of farming, whether it be for two or two hundred animals. The book provides a good deal of technical information presented in simple terms. It should be studied at the outset of any operation, not just kept until an animal is ill. The husbandry consists of non-invasive, drug-free remedies that are as natural as possible. To this is added basic land care.
The book covers:
Land, housing and farming methods
Husbandry
Acquiring stock
Breeds
Nutritional requirements
Psychological needs of goats
Management of kids and goatlings
Minerals and vitamins
Health problems
Natural remedies
Breeding and selection for desirable characteristics
Goats for milk, meat and skins
