How to Encourage Goats to Drink more Water - Henlus - 12-10-2023 My goats hardly drink water until I tried this. Before this trick I have to keep changing their water daily but now I have to keep refilling their water. Water is good for every living thing, goats inclusive. But goats and sheep hardly drink because they get some water from fresh plants.  You can encourage them to drink more by adding salt to the water. Try it and see how much water they'll drink. UPDATE: I believe it is better to have 2 water source for them - fresh water and salt water. That way too much intake of salt will be prevented. Excess salt can cause miscarriage.
