1 st WorkshopXIII International Feed Technology SymposiumNEW RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONTEMPORARYACHIEVEMENTS IN PREPARING FEEDS FOR GOATSFEEDINGNurgin Memiši 1 , Jovanka Lević 2 , Nenad Đorđević 31 AD Mlekara – Subotica, Tolminska 10, Serbia2 Institute for Food Technology, Bulevar cara Lazara 1, Novi Sad, Serbia3 Institute <strong>of</strong> Animal Husb<strong>and</strong>ry, Agricultural Faculty, Zemun, SerbiaABSTRACTThis research paper contains a synopsis <strong>of</strong> contemporary procedures <strong>and</strong> measuresconducted in food preparation for goats as well as some specific characteristics intheir nutrition. Reliance <strong>of</strong> the hay preparation on weather conditions in decreasedtoday using conditioners <strong>and</strong> chemical preservatives. For feed ensiling, today themost recommended are additives based on biological agents that intensify <strong>and</strong> targetthe fermentation, also increasing the aerobic stability <strong>of</strong> silages. However, experiencewith grass silage <strong>and</strong> corn silage is different in nutrition <strong>of</strong> goats. The optimalfulfilling <strong>of</strong> the requirements for high product results should be given specialattention in nutrition <strong>of</strong> goats. That is accomplished with the use <strong>of</strong> latestrecommendations <strong>and</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware, which take into account a large number <strong>of</strong> nutritiveparameters. The 1981 publication Nutrient Requirements <strong>of</strong> Goats (NRC 1981) wasone <strong>of</strong> the first references to compile known research into a comprehensive documentlisting the nutritional requirements for goats in various stages <strong>of</strong> production. Thisdocument gained prominence <strong>and</strong> is still used as a reference for goat nutritionalrequirements. Two statements in the introduction <strong>of</strong> this publication illustrate thechallenges that existed <strong>and</strong> still exist when attempting to address the nutritionalrequirements <strong>of</strong> goats. “It is increasingly evident that despite similarities to sheep <strong>and</strong>cattle, goats exhibit significant differences in grazing habits, physical activities, waterrequirements, feed selection, milk composition, carcass composition, metabolicdisorders <strong>and</strong> parasites. The 1981 NRC has been an excellent source <strong>of</strong> informationconcerning goat nutritional requirements <strong>and</strong> should not be ignored. However, thetremendous amount <strong>of</strong> information, based on additional data, available in the 2004publications referenced should be considered when evaluating or developing newgoat feeding programs. Based on that research NRC published in 2007 newregulations in nutrient requirements <strong>of</strong> goats which represent a step forwardcompared to the former regulations from 1981. Based on that research NRCpublished in 2007 new regulations in nutrient requirements <strong>of</strong> goats which representa step forward compared to the former regulations from 1981.Key words: nutrition, goats, preparing feeds, conserving, normative153
