Baby Goat Nutrition

The first few hours of a baby goat's life is crucial. I have been very involved with kid's (the name of a baby goat) at the farm because of all the pregnancies going on. I feel that this video is a very great and informal video on the nutrition of a baby goat. We actually have some baby lambs that are being bottle fed right now at the farm, because they can't nurse with their mom. Some mom's don't cooperate with nursing, or their nipples do not fully drop down to the level of reach for the newborn. Because of these reasons bottle feeding can save a baby's life. Yes, it is cute but more importantly it needs to be done timely and correctly. For our bottle feeding lambs at the farm we bottle feed them every two hours. Not feeding on time can result in malnourishment and can risk the life of the baby goat or lamb.
