I’d be more concerned with the extremely low price of the Westernproduct. You may be getting a bag of junk.

More likely caused by high grain, high energy, high phosphorus diet creating highly aklaline rumen. I've known a couple of old goat men that would have it incorporated into their feed as well but feed also always had an adequate amount of ammonium chloride in it to prevent urinary calculi.

Queso with Rotel tomatoes cooked in...
