A boer goat will eat up to 4% of it's body weight each day. For a goat that weighs 100 lbs that would eat up to 4 lbs each day. But your question is need to eat. That depends on what the goat is eating. If the nutrient levels of the food the goat is eating are high enough they can survive on less than 4% per day. If the nutrient levels are low then they could also suffer on 4%. The nutrient level required depends on what you are trying to accomplish with the goat. If it is a mature goat that is not lactating (nursing babies) then the nutrient requirements are lower than for a goat that is lactating. Also, goat kids that you are trying to grow will need higher nutrition than older goats. You should visit with your local extension service to get more details.

Genemasters are the hybrid offspring of a fullblood Boer and a purebred Kiko. The crossing of a registered fullblood Boer female with a registered purebred Kiko male produces an offspring capable of registration in the Genemaster registry. The reverse is also the case - that is, a registered purebred Kiko female and a registered fullblood Boer male. Registration as a Genemaster is the first step in a hybridization program the ultimate aim of which is registration as a Texas Genemaster, a genetically stable three eighths Kiko, five eighths Boer hybrid.
The scientific name for the Boer goat is Capra aegagrus hircus.
Depends on what goat you're thinking of there. If it's a Boer Goat. NO.
