5. Colostrum

The newborn kid should receive 50ml/kg body weight of doe’s colostrum right after birth and every 6 hours for the first 24 hours.  This will provide protection against future infections.  First milking colostrum of mature does can be kept frozen in ice cubes and slowly thawed when needed.  For CAE free flock, goat’s colostrum can be heat treated as long as some rules are followed since the antibodies contained in colostrum are heat sensitive.  Ask your veterinarian or Golshad representative for details.

6. General recommendations

a)       The suggested feeding program should be considered as a minimum.  10kg of milk replacer will be consumed.

b)       During the first 2 weeks, do not feed more than 10% of the kid’s body weight per day, offered in three feedings.

c)       Free choice milk is served at room temperature and the lamb bar should not be left empty for more than 2 hours. To cool milk to less than 40°C, use only 1/3 hot water, mix as recommended and add remaining 2/3 cold water.

d)       A maximum kid per group is 10.  Teats should be at 40-45cm (16-18in) above stall floor.

e)       Clean and rinse ALL feeding utensils after each feeding.  Sanitize with dilute bleach at 1 t spoon bleach per litre of hot water, let drain dry.
