My son breeds goats for 4-H, and for profit. I usually board my horse out but we are building a barn and will be bringing him home soon. Feeding them seprate and keeping the food seperate is not a problem. But they will be pasture rotated off and on the same pastures. What about the fecal matter from the goats after being feed this food, is that ok to put the horse in that field after the goats have been on it?

Oh, thank you thank you thank you for this article!! My sister has four goats and I have three horses. I had a feeling the goat feed wasn’t healthy for my horse’s, but I never imagined it could be deadly. I’ll be sure to keep my horse friends far, FAR away from the goat feed!!! 🙂 Thanks for alerting me of this – I can’t thank you enough! 🙂

This comment is in regard to the goat food being lethal to horses. I want to THANK YOU so much for alerting me to this! I do not have a goat, nor is my horse stabled with or near goats. However, it never hurts to know these things. If we do get a goat, I will make sure the food the goat eats does not contain anything toxic to my horse. Thanks again for such valuable information!!!
