We all know that sugar in any form, no matter how awful, refined, bleached it is, is only a quick fix of a much bigger problem...lack of energy. Even in us, it gives us energy temporarily and then our blood sugar level plummets. Energy in the form of grain is sustained. Plus it doesn't cause the acidosis in the rumen molassas does unless overfed. We also know that in some areas, like mine, we have soo much iron in our soils and water, that adding more iron in the form of molassas feedings everyday is binding the copper and calcium in our does diets.
We all know all this, it isn't conjecture at this point, yet we have to go round and round on this molassas idea because a company has some really glossy rhetoric out there. Feeding the protein blocks I can see, yes there is molassas in them but not in any form close to those tubs.
Move away from the slick advertising...move away from feeding your goats like cows.
And know that the first sympotom of urea posioning in your goats is death. Vicki
