Note on Copper

The copper requirement of goats is frequently questioned. The best information today indicates goats require levels of copper similar to cattle requirements. Angora and Pygmy breeds have been reported to be sensitive to copper supplementation, so to render this diet suitable there is no added copper. For other goats it is suggested that a free-choice mineral supplement is offered.
