You'd find more information on google if you spelled it correctly.  It's spelled "Nubian".

Answer 2

Shouldn't you have researched that before you got it?

Answer 3

How old is your goat?

If it is a baby on milk, you will bottle feed.

If it is weaned or an older goat, feed it hay and grain. Water, trim hooves, brush it, love it, do all the things a goat needs.

Research.

Answer 4

Krissy its funny you should ask this question

i have been a dedicated "goat master" if you will for the indegenous tribe of the augnecks in south east asia for the last five years i dealt with many newbian goats through my role you see they have a strange diet which consists of a mix of herbal grass and boiling tea the newbian goats must be force feed the tea as to start with they do not like it but it is key to there survival so this would be my first tip my second tip would be to actually get loacl kids from your neighbourhood to ride on the goat not too many heavy children but light ones just to strenghten the goats legs i hope this has helped you krissy

Answer 5

Hi Krissy,

I agree with some of the other answers: you need to carefully research your new pet. I would also recommend that you visit a veterinarian in your area. Call ahead and talk to the veterinary office to make sure that the veterinarian feels comfortable working with goats.

Your goat will require vaccinations (what they need will vary with your location as well as how many other goats may live in the surrounding areas). You will also need to deworm your goat to keep them parasite free.

If it is an adult animal it will need a good supply of quality hay. I would recommend staying away from alfalfa hay as it is very high in calcium. If it is a male goat I would recomend NOT feeding it a grain diet. Grain diets predispose male goats to bladder stones which can become lodged in their urethra. This requires surgical correction and it is a life threatening situation.

So, bottom line: find a local veterinarian to help you with vaccination, deworming, basic care recommendations and dietary advice. I would also recommend talking to local farmers who also own goats. They can probably recommend a place to obtain good quality hay.

Good luck.
