Electrolytes for your goats are important when replacing body fluids lost from dehydration whether it is from illness or hot weather.  

My Personal Choice for electrolytes is Vi-tal, it has minerals, electrolytes, and vitamins and goes along way unlike many of the other dry mixes that have fillers and not nearly the balanced ingredients this product has.
