Goat Training Manual on How to Nurse Kids

It is exciting when your goats deliver kids! However, they require excellent care to help them grow up. Follow these tips to keep your new kids happy and healthy:

Keep your kids in a dry, clean shelter that is protected from the wind or breeze with enough room for them to lie. Maintain a temperature of 10 and 25°C in your kid pen and increase the warmth during cooler months. Use hay bales, tarps, or plastic sheets around the exterior of the pen to achieve this. Make sure the kids do not chew the plastic, as this is harmful and can lead to mortalities.
