What if adding a little algae to your goats’ diet could make their milk healthier? This week on Hoofnotes, we’re digging into new research that shows how microalgae can improve the fatty acid profile of goat milk, without changing how much your goats eat or produce. Scientists looked at results from 17 different studies and found that goats fed microalgae made milk richer in “good fats” like omega-3s and DHA, the same nutrients that make fish oil so healthy. We’ll break down what that means for your herd, how much algae makes a difference, and whether this natural supplement is worth adding to your feeding plan.
