Bottle Feeding Kid Goats – How We Use Milk Replacer to Feed Our Baby Kid Goats at Our Homestead
Understanding when, why, and how to bottle feed milk replacer to your kid goats helps them to get off to a good start in life. Understanding the internal changes that are occurring to your kid goat as you feed them helps you to be a good goat farmer. At our homestead, we’ve been raising goats for 17 years and have had many different situations to deal with. While we are always learning, we also like to share and hear from others about raising goats and homesteading.
In this video I will be talking about some of the physical changes that occur with the goat kid as they are bottle fed. The biggest change has to do with the goat’s four stomachs – the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum (the true stomach). You will learn why milk is only suitable for the one stomach and why hay needs to be introduced to add bacteria to the kid’s gut in order to start it functioning properly as it grows and as the roles of the stomachs change. Find out why kids shiver after eating, proper milk temperature, how we wean the goats, and more.
Hope you enjoy the video and we would love to hear from you. Do you raise goats? Do you homestead? What other activities do you do at your homestead?
