momagoat61 mentioned baking soda in the loose minerals...I feed loose minerals to my nubians. Why do you add baking soda? Does it aid digestion?

Baking soda is a natural antacid. It helps a goat maintain the proper acid level in its rumen. A goat's rumen is full of "good bacteria" which helps them to digest ...Baking soda helps aid those good bacteria. MY goats love the extra baking soda..
