Goats can tolerate onions better than other livestock, like cows or sheep. While they're not poisonous to goats, it's generally recommended to avoid feeding them onions as they can cause digestive upset.
Here's what you need to know:
- Goats have a higher tolerance for onions than other livestock. They are often seen grazing on wild onions and even enjoy them.
- Onions can cause digestive issues. Even though they aren't poisonous, large quantities of onions can upset a goat's rumen and lead to discomfort.
- Avoid feeding onions as a regular part of their diet. Focus on providing a balanced diet of hay, fresh grass, and other safe vegetables.
- Offer onions in moderation. If you do choose to give your goat onions, do so in small amounts and observe them for any negative reactions.
Remember, it's always best to consult with a veterinarian for specific dietary advice for your goats.
