Prevention is always the best policy when dealing with urinary calculi. You should ensure proper Calcium: Phosphorus ratios (2:1) in your feed. Remember, a corn based ration is much better than milo. Ammonium Chloride should be added in the feed at a rate of 10-20 lbs/ton. Clean, fresh, cool water is a must and should always be available to the goat. It is recommended that bucks be given more than 1/2lb of grain supplement per head per day to reduce the incidence of urinary calculi. Consult your veterinarian for further information.
