RAISING DAIRY GOAT KIDS
JOLENE BERG, PETER ROBINSON, DEBORAH GIRAUD
Anyone who has worked with dairy goat kids knows that raising them, especially on a commercial scale, can be a challenging yet gratifying endeavor. Kids are the replacement animals that keep a herd at optimum production. It takes a lot of work and careful attention to produce a hard-working dairy goat from one of these bouncing babies.

PREVENTING NAVEL ILL
JEAN SMITH
The navel of the newborn is basically a hollow tube, which leads directly into the abdominal cavity and liver of the animal. It remains moist for several days after birth, making it easy for bacteria to gain entrance into the body. This is particularly likely, if the animal is born in unsanitary conditions. Therefore there are several management practices that can be preformed to keep your kids/lambs healthy.
