How to Feed Goats Mulberry Tree Leaves

Goats have voracious appetites and can easily spend most of their day eating. To help keep goats healthy and active, owners can provide a variety of trees and plants for their goats to browse on. Giving goats natural foraging material ensures that they use more energy to get at each leaf, helping to prevent obesity. Mulberry leaves are an excellent browse choice for goats. Mulberry trees are fast-growing, even when trimmed often, and the leaves are highly nutritious and easily digested by goats. Feeding goats Mulberry leaves is very easy to do.
