Fun Facts about Apples

edit

I like apples. I have some apple trees. Goats like apples also. However, goats can choke on apple cores and can die. You have to cut up apples for goats so they can eat them safely. As long as the pieces are small, apples are good for goats. The seeds of Apples can contain arsenic. This can cause chronic poisoning of goats but only if the goats eat a lot of apples. Since the seeds are in apple cores, as long as you cut the core out the goats will be fine. Please make sure to not feed your goat apple cores. They might choke on arsenic and die.
