Yes, I'm told you can feed them kudzu up to 35% of their diet.
I had a great plan to bring herd boys from East Africa to the South, with their goats, to work on the kudzu problem. Half the boys would watch the goats in the morning while the other half went to school. In the afternoon, they would swap.
After a year (or more) load up the boys, their accumulated pay, educational certificates, goodies acquired in the land of Walmart and ALL their fat goats on a ship headed back to East Africa.
Time the trip to coincide with the Haj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Stop by, sell the goats for sacrifices before stopping in Mombasa to get the boys home.
Fees from US landowners for kudzu eradication, plus those from goat sales, should fund the entire program plus establish an educational trust fund for the boys.
The boys would benefit greatly, Southern landowners would, too. For a while, it would even bee a great deal for the goats...for a while.
Alas, far too politically incorrect. Media types, advocacy busybodies and race pimps would have a hissy fit.
So, no "Green Kudzu Remediation Program", no "Study Abroad for a Year" program for herd boys from the bush, neither a "Co-op: Earn While You Learn" program for them either.
And no "Free Range [kinda] Organic Goat Meat" for the pilgrims.

I pass a pasture on my commute to work. Oftentimes, I'll see the horses literally hanging over the fence to get at the kudzu to nibble on.
They haven't figured out that if they just wait a day or so, it'll come to them. :-) The kudzu down here grows fast enough to catch and eat slower animals.
