how much Ammonium Chloride

How much Ammonium Chloride do I mix into a 50lb bag of grain? I'm terrible at math. I have a mama pygmy and 2 - 10 week babies pygmy/nd mix. They get a total of 2 cups a day (1 cup am 1 cup pm) that they share between them. I'm only adding it for the one baby wether. The only info I can find is 1 teasp per 150# goat. Frankie is close to 15 lbs right now.

The wether is actually the only one that need the AC although it won't hurt the Doe & his sister. Can you feed him in a seperate dish? Also it's like salt & is going to sift down to the bottom so I mix a little molasses with my buck & wether's food(seperate buckets) so that the AC sticks to it & they gobble it right down otherwise it is an extremely salty, bitter taste so they don't really like it and & his weigh I would give about 1/8 to 1/4 tsp is all. It is 1 tsp to 150 pounds of goat (according to Fias co.'s web site).
My little buck has UC & I cleared it up but he get's 1 tsp on his alfafa pellets each morning with molasses & he's about 55 pounds. I haven't overdosed him & he's the best he's been since he had the stones back in early Feb.
