Feeding kids from the first days of life can be a variety of ways.However, it is worth remembering that the interval between the moment of birth and the start of colostrum should be small.The maximum rate of such period should be 1:00.The thing is this.In the light of newborn goats appear with very weak immune systems.Consequently, they are susceptible to many diseases.As part of their blood had not yet found the necessary antibodies.But thanks to the colostrum weak goats become stronger.Their body gets a portion of antibodies that will be used to strengthen the body's defenses.In addition, colostrum for kids - unusually tasty stuff.
should be noted that the colostrum is not only a vital source of antibodies.It is also considered to be a kind of inhibitor of the digestive process.Quick colostrum helps the body that have a kid in the stomach appear lactic acid bacteria that protect against the development of various kinds of infectious diseases.In this case, harmful bacteria do not get access to the stomach and intestines.Also beneficial bacteria improve digestion, accelerate the output of feces.
Feeding kids from the first days of life: description
Feeding kids under the uterus is used in cases where there is low in goats milk production.Then find kids with sows is extended to 4 months of age.Then they are transferred to another food (eg, milk replacer).When feeding the kids from the first days of life on the suckling occurs, you must carefully check that the udder of a clean and healthy and very normal milk milked.Usually after childbirth kid starts to suck on their own, but it is better to support him for the belly, as he is still very difficult to stand on legs.In some cases, the nipple tube goats arise which prevent access to milk goats.It should be noted that the very weak and goats can not reach the milk of cork.Therefore, before you feed the kids, it is recommended to milk the first trickle.
first time the newborn goat kids admit to an hour after his birth.She feeds them about 6-8 times a day.With 11 days of life to feed the kids start with freshly brewed and cooled oatmeal.Every day they put fresh hay in the manger.On dairy feeding transferred within 10 days.
Growing lambs and kids: Feeding
In the first week of the diet of young kids should contain about 1.5 liters of milk, and you need to take it 3-4 times a day.It is worth remembering that the milk replacer should be included in the diet gradually kid.This should be done prior to such time as it is replaced by the mother's milk.At the age of 20-30 days, it is imperative to include in the diet of goats mineral fertilizer.It is about 5 grams of salt, 7 grams of powdered chalk or bone meal.Portia is designed for one individual.When the kid turns 3 months, you can increase the daily portion of bone meal (chalk) to 10 g It was at this age should be gradually unlearn kids from the mother breast.It is recommended to take this 10-day period.During this period, the animal must be fed at the same time the mother's milk, concentrate and make it easier to teach to breast milk substitutes.
feeding pasteurized milk
artificial substitutes milk to find your alternative.It is pasteurized goat's milk from natural origin.Pasteurization is necessary to destroy all harmful bacteria, thus making, the milk unfit for consumption shortly after milking.
pasteurization methods
Pasteurization can be done in two ways - fast and slow.Fast pasteurization is that the milk is heated for half a minute to a temperature 74 degrees centigrade.When using a slow way, the temperature will be slightly lower (64 degrees Celsius), but the exposure time - longer (it is necessary to maintain a half-hour).With a view to the preparation of pasteurized milk, you can use an ordinary plate with a thermometer or a home pasteurizer.
After the procedure is necessary to quickly cool the milk in any sterile container.Keep in mind that any subject that touches the milk must be sterilized to prevent infection.For heating the colostrum used several different technology.Colostrum to be heated to a temperature of 56 degrees Celsius, and then let stand for one hour.This process is able to destroy all harmful bacteria and are important for goat antibodies, on the contrary, to maintain the active state.
When feeding the kids from the first days of life is carried out without a uterus, in most cases animals are used for drinking bottles or cups.A piece of plate for milk have to be clean.Always remember that as the goats are active can butting, hitting at the same time feeding the bottle man.It should be noted that feeding infants goats using dummy bottle takes a lot of time.
feeding pans
goats can teach yourself to use milk from birth.Feed the animals out of the pan - unusual method, but the goats like a way to feed the most.That's because in this case they can drink as much milk as they want themselves.Feed the kids with a bowl or pan, you can use from the time of colostrum.The kid will be happy to drink milk if it is pre-heated to a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius (ie a couple of degrees higher than the usual temperature).When a kid sees the first time a pan or bowl with milk, it just will not do.Therefore, it is necessary to dip into a container with a muzzle milk.In most cases this will be enough for the kid knew what to do next.Initially it can be used for watering small kid cups, which will soon be exchanged for a pot or bowl.A cup or pot is much easier to wash than a plastic bottle.In addition, any unexpected costs associated with the acquisition of teats and bottles.But breast from the pan and there is a small minus - goats often put into a container legs, so it is poured.
