<![CDATA[Goats are one of the small ruminant livestock that are widely kept in Indonesia to improve the community's economy. One of the determining factors for the success of a goat farming business is feed. About 60-70% of the total cost of livestock production is feed. As the biggest production cost, providing feed with quality and quantity in accordance with the physiological status of livestock will have a positive impact on productivity. The method used in this study is a qualitative description approach. There were 6 goats observed in this study with different ages.
