Goat manure

In goat manure there are tracks of all essential minerals, but some only on the lowest commercial limit. Usage of goat maure is hard work, because goat manure has to be composted before it can be used on the grassland. Farmers who have only goats should buy some mineral fertilizers and mix it with goat manure or they use rock powder. For organic farmers, like in Austria, it is a little bit more difficult. There are some opinions. The first is to buy antisolouble fertilizers. One of the other opinions is to buy chicken manure from other farmers, because it is rich in minerals.
