14 Herbal Recipes for Goat Appetite

Appetite stimulant for goats is an additional feed that functions as a booster to increase feed consumption. However, much or little feed consumption can be affected by many things. For example, feed palatability, ambient temperature, and goat health.

In my opinion, the level of appetite for goats is different. Many things affect goats in this matter of appetite.

Among them are the level of feed palatability and the conditions of the goats themselves. Goats that are sick or unhealthy, of course, their appetite will be different from normal goat appetites.

For normal goats, their appetite is sometimes different. For certain types of forage, for example, elephant grass, cassava leaves, etc., one goat can eat greedily while the other is not certain.

If the types of feed are the same, automatically the feed palatability is the same. However, some goats are more eager to eat the feed. Maybe at times like this, it is necessary to have an appetite-enhancing herbal medicine.

For the goat’s appetite-enhancing herbal medicine, many of its products are sold in the market. Just buy and give it directly to the goats.

Giving according to the instructions for use, of course. Or you can consult the nearest veterinarian.

For long-term use, this will be a hassle. It is a hassle to have to buy continuously and bother in the bag.

The risk of non-herbal products may have side effects if used for a long time.

I got an article that provides an alternative appetite stimulant for goats with herbs. The recipe is herbal and seems easy to follow.

The recipes include the following:

1 . Salt and taro leaves

3 pieces of taro leaves and 3 tablespoons of salt. Served as a goat’s appetite enhancer, taro leaves and table salt are cooked simultaneously for 15 minutes.
