Описание: An orphaned or rejected goat kid can survive and thrive with your help – this video will show you how. We guide you through bottle-feeding a newborn kid from day one to weaning. First crucial step: ensure the kid gets colostrum (the mother’s first milk) within the first few hours of life. If the doe is absent, use frozen colostrum or a commercial colostrum replacer to boost the kid’s immunity. Next, we’ll demonstrate how to prepare a proper milk replacer formula or use whole goat’s milk (often the best option) and the right way to bottle-feed. From nipple selection to keeping milk warm (around body temperature), we cover the details that prevent digestive upset. You’ll get a feeding schedule for various ages – for example, feeding 4–5 small meals a day for the first couple of weeks, then gradually larger, less frequent bottles. We also share tips on keeping the kid warm (a heat lamp or jacket) and introducing solid feed like hay and calf starter by a few weeks old. Raising an orphan is hard work, but with these techniques you can give a motherless kid a healthy start and even a chance to become one of your best goats.
