Grain moths in Goat Chow

I have what I think are grain moths in the goat chow, can I still feed to my goats?
Thanks Ed

not recommended however it makes great chicken food.
Check the date on the bottom of the bag, its good for 90 days after that date, if purchased after that date take it back to the place where you bought it unless you have stored it for a while.
If its within the 90 days and you have not had it stored for a long period of time then I would take it back anyway. Normally this either happens from the plant or if the bag gets opened or tore.

it would make a great treat for them, pigs and wild birds too just not goats, cows or horses.

We had that issue with a couple of bags, so now we add DE to every new batch we bring home, so far no more problems and it does help to knock down the fly population.
