3.6.1 - The feed trough allowance for goats held in paddocks at the registered establishment is to be calculated on a paddock-by-paddock basis and must be:

1. for ration feeding, no less than 5cm of feed trough width per head; or
2. for ad libitum feeding, no less than 3cm of feed trough width per head.

3.6.2 - For areas of Australia south of latitude 26°S from 1 May to 31 October (inclusive), feeding must occur from fully sheltered feed troughs.

3.6.3 - Goats must be fed daily suitable feed of:

1. at least 3% of their bodyweight for goats younger than 4 tooth; and
2. at least 2% of their bodyweight for 4 tooth or older; and
3. a quality able to meet daily maintenance requirements.

3.6.4 - The minimum length of time that goats must remain in a registered establishment prior to departure for the port is 5 clear days. A day on which an animal is subject to a feed or water or curfew is not a clear day.

1. for goats held for less than 10 days, a minimum of 0.33m² each which must be increased by 0.006m² for each 1kg above 54kg liveweight; or
2. for goats held for 10 days or more, a minimum of 0.5m² each which must be increased by 0.006m² for each 1kg above 54kg liveweight.
