Supplies Needed for Goats

1/27/2020

0 Comments

 

Before you bring home your new goats you should be prepared with all the supplies you’ll need to take care of them. Below is a list to get you started!

Basic Supplies


  • hay feeder/rack (we use a rack for alfalfa and horse hay bags for grass hay)
  • feed buckets/pans
  • water bucket (we like automatic ones)
  • mineral feeder (for loose minerals)
  • rake
  • pitchfork
  • broom (goat berries are hard to rake!)
  • horse brush
  • hoof nippers
  • hoof pick
  • hoof rasp
  • digital thermometer
  • stethescope (goats are prone to pneumonia)
  • bandage or surgical scissors
  • dog clippers & blades
  • large dog kennel for transportation
  • collar (we like the plastic chain ones from Caprine Supply because they will break if the goat gets caught on something)
  • leash
  • dog scale or weight tape (to correctly dose medications)
  • dog house or calf hutch or other shelter
  • proper fencing (no climb wire or welded panels or electric goat fence are good choices)

  • probiotic paste
  • banamine (for fever, pain & inflammation)
  • antibiotics: Nuflor for respiratory issues
  • Vetricyn Pink Eye Spray
  • Coppertox (for hoof rot)
  • Cut N Heal
  • alcohol wipes (for cleaning injection sites & the thermometer)
  • syringes & needles 1, 3 & 6 ml. syringes. 18, 20 & 22 gauge needles 3/4 to 1” long
  • large (12, 15 or 30 ml) syringes for medications or a reusable drenching gun
  • Goat Nutri Drench
  • Red Cell (to treat anemia)
  • Fortified B Complex - injectable or paste (to prevent goat polio if the goat is sick and goes off feed)
  • Selenium & E gel
  • Replamin Plus Gel
  • Horse shampoo
  • triple antibiotic ointment
  • Super 7 Naval Dip (if breeding, for umbilical cords)
  • Tetanus Antitoxin (in case of injury)
  • CD&T antitoxin (in case of overeating, to prevent enterotoxemia)
  • dewormer (Ivomec injectible or other)
  • rubber exam gloves
  • blood stop powder (for hoof trimming)
  • activated charcoal
  • electrolytes
  • milk of magnesia
  • pepto bismol
  • vegetable oil
  • Toltrazuril (for coccidiosis)
  • BoSe (prescription injection for Selenium deficiency. May or may not be necessary. Discuss with your vet.)
  • copper bolus (For copper deficiency. May or may not be needed, depending on your area and your loose mineral. Discuss with your vet.)
  • epinephrine
  • Vet RX
