Do you have Calves but not know what to feed them? If you have lactating does, you may be tempted to raise your calves with the milk from your goats.
It is very safe to raise calves on goat milk because goat milk offers even more nutrients than cow milk.
To decide if calves can feed on goat milk, it's important to understand the nutritional details of goat milk and cow milk. If cow milk offered more nutrients, it would not be ideal to raise calves using goat milk.
...you cannot get enough daily milk for a calf that weighs 90 pounds (the calf needs at least 9 pounds of milk daily) from just one lactating doe.
According to the reports of various farmers, raising cows with goat milk replacer has caused many problems such as nutrient deficiency and stunted growth.
