How to raise a dairy goat begins with understanding the goat. A female goat
is called a doe, a male is a buck, and the young are kids. In temperate
climates, a doe shows signs of seasonal breeding, mating in autumn and
bearing children 5 months later. In tropical climates, this seasonal behavior
is less marked and they can give birth three times in two years. In each
pregnancy, two to four kids are born. Young ones reach maturity in about
five months and can already give birth by 12 to 15 months.

goat has four stomachs which digest food very efficiently. They get much of
the nutrients in the food they eat and thus need relatively little food for
proper growth. They have a high capacity for eating fibrous food such as
barks, but must be given high protein forage such as legumes, hay, and
alfalfa. Good quality hay must be given to goats regularly because it serves
as their cheapest source of vitamins and minerals. Goats even eat vegetable
peelings and leaves such as cauliflower, cabbage, carrot leaves, and turnip
tops. These additional must be given together with, and not in place of,
their regular diet.



In some farms, the forage diet is further supplemented with a mixture of
different materials called concentrate. The concentrate is used to enhance
their growth and keep them producing milk in good quality and quantity.
This concentrate can be a mixture of seeds and other materials such as
cottonseed meal, rice bran, cassava waste and other farm by-products.



The goat is a very sturdy animal and can survive even with minimum
supervision, while still producing good milk. How to raise a dairy goat is
indeed very easy. Occasional inspection is all that's needed to ensure these
animals serve their farms owners well.
