6. Formulating the proper diet for your animal

In the previous chapter we took a look at the raw numbers required to build a proper diet for an animal. In this chapter we will dive into each animal type that we might consider feeding fodder too and formulate some options around the right diet for that animal. We will also look at why fodder isn’t always the only food required for a proper nutritional plan for all animals.

6.1 Why does this matter?

Barley, Wheat, Oats, Sunflower, Pea, Milo.

1) Rabbits: Wheat, barley, BOSS, radish, millet, lentil

2) Pigs: 50% Barley, 30% Rye, 20% yellow/winter peas, alfalfa, clover

3) Chickens: Barley, BOSS, Wheat, Oats,

4) Cows:

5) Horses:

6) Goats: Barley, Wheat, Cow Peas, Millet, Sunflower, Oats, Corn, (Barley, Wheat, Cow Peas, and Sunflowers is my main mix) I’ll use Millet, Corn and Oats if one or more of the others are not available but you could feed just one or two of these and the animal would do fine. Mine can be somewhat picky sometimes so I offer a mix, gives them a little variety and I’ll change it up a little every so often but Barley is always my first choice and usually the main percentage of grain in mix 35%

7) Alpacas: Barley, Wheat, Oats

8) Sheep: Barley, Wheat, Oats, Annual Rye, BOSS
