Can i feed my baby goat cows milk?
I have been a goat breeder for 8 years. There are brands of goat formula out there but I have had the best luck using half and half and whole milk. Depending on the age of the goat depends on how many ounces to give them. Use a 50/50 mixture of half and half and whole and never feed more than 8 ounces. Even if the baby is still hungry dont feed more than 8 ounces or thier stomachs will explode. Since they are ruminants they need to ruminate every thing through all four stomachs before fully processsing it. Too much food can clog thier system. from 1-2 weeks you should feed every four hours-4 ounces. then from 4-10 weeks you should feed them 8 ounces every six hours. We usually do a 6am, noon, six pm, midnight schedule. I hope this helps. If you have any questions please feel free to call.
