Grain amount for dairy goats

[deschutes dawn]

I'm having problems keeping weight on my best doe. Triplets are a little much for her. She gets about 2 lbs. grain a day but she only eats half. I'm pulling the kids off of her for 10 to 12 hours a day just so she gets a break. The kids are 6 weeks old and in great shape. They munch alfalfa and grass hay during the day and get a combination of goat chow, boss, and alfalfa pellets once a day, about a half to three quarters cup grain each. Mom isn't gaining weight yet but I'm hoping she doesn't lose any more until the kids go on just twice a day feedings. Two weeks to go.
