Managing goats successfully requires an understanding of how nature designed them to thrive, including their nutritional and psychological needs, as well as how to identify a problem and intercede before it's too late. In Holistic Goat Care, Gianaclis Caldwell shares her hands-on expertise gained during more than a decade managing a healthy herd of goats. This comprehensive guide provides invaluable health care information for all types of goats, whether they are dairy goats, meat goats, fiber goats, or pet goats. Holistic Goat Care empowers goat owners to confidently diagnose and treat most common ailments and offers a depth of insight and approaches to treatment not found in any other book. Caldwell places special emphasis throughout on holistic, natural, and alternative approaches to caring for goats.--COVER.
