How Do You Feed Goats Mulberry Tree Leaves?
Goats have voracious appetites and can easily spend most of their day eating. To help keep goats healthy and active, owners can provide a variety of trees and plants for their goats to browse on. Giving goats natural foraging material ensures that they use more energy to get at each leaf, helping to prevent obesity. Mulberry leaves are an excellent browse choice for goats. Mulberry trees are fast-growing, even when trimmed often, and the leaves are highly nutritious and easily digested by goats. Feeding goats Mulberry leaves is very easy to do. Trim large and small limbs off of the Mulberry tree. Limb or branch sizes are only limited by what you can carry. Place the tree limbs and branches in your goats’ enclosure. Try scattering the branches so that the goats have to move around to get to the leaves. Stand back and watch the goats. Most goats really enjoy Mulberry leaves and watching their exuberance for such a treat is enjoyable to watch.
