Starting goat kids correctly is about consistency: a starter that keeps them eating, supports development, and pairs cleanly with forage so the rumen develops the way it should. Quality Plus positions 18% Goat Starter R20 Pellet as an 18% protein pelleted ration for starting kids, with a clear management requirement: it should be fed with access to good quality forage.

The manufacturer-posted Guaranteed Analysis shows a practical starter profile at 18% protein, 5% fat, and 15.3% max fiber, along with defined mineral/vitamin guarantees including copper, selenium, and vitamins A/D/E.

Quality Plus also states this starter contains monensin, an ionophore included to support rumen microbial balance as part of the feeding system. Like all ionophore feeds, it must be stored and handled responsibly—especially because monensin exposure can be fatal to horses and other equines.

  • 18% protein starter pellet for starting kids

  • Designed to be fed with access to good quality forage
