The importance of water during stress
The great thing is that water remains a constant, even when goats are stressed. While feed intake tends to decrease, water intake often remains the same or even increases, especially during heat stress.
This creates an opportunity: by enriching the water with additional nutrients, such as Vitamin C, you can support goats that aren’t eating well without them even noticing.
